Enhanced
Portfolio
Implementation (EPI)
Centralised management of multi-manager portfolios.
Enhanced Portfolio Implementation (EPI) is a platform designed to address inefficiencies, reduce costs and give greater control for investors who use multiple managers or strategies.
Accomplished by first transforming Investment managers portfolios into advisory models, EPI combines all models and investment insights into one centrally managed segregated account.
Providing solutions to your daily challenges
Traditional multi-manager portfolios appoint investment managers that provide both the idea generation and implementation of their portfolio allocation.
However, when managers implement their portion of the portfolio independently from one another this can create additional complexity, cost and operational challenges for the asset owner.
Consolidating all active trade ideas on one platform with an overseeing manager, results in fewer transactions and the avoidance of trades that are deemed immaterial at the total portfolio level; therefore reducing transaction costs and performance drag.
Increase control and efficiency
A central management approach creates operational efficiencies and gives daily visibility and control of the aggregate portfolio back to the client, enabling more informed and quicker decisions. All in a single account.
Customise portfolios with ease
The simplified management structure can broaden investment manager inclusion and make it easier to screen holdings and apply portfolio customisations, such as stock exclusions to meet ESG requirements.
Re-thinking the traditional structure
Anchored by proprietary technology integration and 15 years of experience, EPI helps investors rethink how to construct multi manager strategies that unlock new opportunities while recouping unnecessary costs.
