Custom Indexing
Custom indexing solutions are powerful portfolio management tools, but they can be costly and time-consuming to implement. With Parametric Custom Core®, institutional investors can access a simple, cost-effective way to achieve a desired equity or fixed income market exposure.
Custom Core is a passive portfolio of securities that adheres to an investor-chosen benchmark, delivered as a separately managed account (SMA). With SMAs, investors own each individual underlying security directly, giving them a high degree of customization based on unique situations and needs. Custom Core lets your institution invest according to its investment objectives.
