Separately managed accounts

Seeking to optimize your cash portfolio with a tailored solution.
Hands weaving thread indicating tailored

Unlike commingled mutual funds, separately managed accounts are segregated mandates comprised solely of one client’s assets. The investment strategy of the account is driven by the specific objectives and risk tolerances of the account owner, often dictated by their investment guidelines.

Many cash investors share the same objectives. How you get there can be driven by your unique circumstances.

 

To help determine the potential benefits of a separately managed account for your cash portfolio, consider the following questions:

    • Do you have defined liquidity needs for your cash? 
    • Do you need same day settlement?
    • Do you have gain/loss sensitivity?

    • Do you have a maximum weighted average maturity?
    • Do you have a stated benchmark? 

    • Do you have minimum credit quality requirements?
    • Do you have short- or long-term rating requirements?

    • Do you have an existing investment policy?
    • Do you want to avoid certain sectors?

    • Have you considered ESG in your investment strategy?
    • Do you have an ESG framework?
