Agreement Dramatically Improves the Economics of Accessing Managers with High-Alpha Potential for Large Dallas-based Wealth Management Firm
SAN FRANSISCO, April 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — AlphaClone Inc., a leader in building index-based alpha-seeking investment strategies, announced today that it has won a significant sub-advisory investment mandate from an established Dallas-based wealth management firm with over $4 billion in assets under management. The ten-year, non-exclusive, licensing and sub-advisory agreement will allow the wealth management firm to access AlphaClone’s family of alpha-seeking index strategies at a fraction of their existing third-party active manager cost.
“We are thrilled to be working with such an established wealth management firm,” said Maz Jadallah, AlphaClone Chief Executive Officer. “As wealth firms continue to enhance the services they offer their clients and at an increasingly lower client fee, we believe our low-cost indexing approach has the ability to dramatically improve the economics of firms seeking to access managers with high alpha potential. Winning this mandate is a terrific validation of our ability to extend our strategies to support world-class wealth management teams.”
The index strategies developed by AlphaClone all employ AlphaClone’s unique and proprietary Clone Score methodology, which assigns a “moneyball-like” batting average to each hedge fund or institutional investor based on analyzing their regulatory holdings disclosures, Form 13F-HR. AlphaClone’s family of indexes include:
- AlphaClone Hedge Fund Masters Index – an index of US-exchange traded equities favored by the ten hedge funds and institutional investors with the highest Clone Score.
- AlphaClone International Index – an index of American Depository Receipts (ADRs) favored by hedge funds and institutional investors with the highest Clone Scores.
- AlphaClone Small Cap Index – an index of US-exchange traded small capitalization equities favored by hedge funds and institutional investors with the highest Clone Scores.
- AlphaClone Value Manager Index – an index of US-exchange traded equities favored by hedge funds and institutional investors with the highest Clone Scores that pursue a value investment approach.
- AlphaClone Activist Manager Index – an index of US-exchange traded equities favored by hedge funds and institutional investors with the highest Clone Scores that pursue an activist investment approach.
