amLeague_INDEXING

The interest generated by the transparency, fairness, and comparability of amLeague rankings quickly turned into a real commercial demand: institutional investors want to invest in amLeague’s mandates. They can analyze with confidence the capabilities of the asset managers they decide to trust, thanks to the permanent control of an independent third party: amLeague.

amLeague_INDEXING service allows investors, multi-managers and distributors to invest in the replicas of the notional mandates portfolios that are analyzed and displayed in the rankings section of amLeague website. It is a mechanism that provides the alpha of the best asset managers.

amLeague_INDEXING is therefore the process allowing the perfect replication of a single or set of asset managers, selected on amLeague platform. This process provides the investor with a fully replicable index that is either public (ESMA compliant) or proprietary (strategy for the sole use of the investor)

The notional performance, as displayed in the rankings, is calculated with intraday trades as in real conditions.

To replicate the notional mandate, it is necessary to calculate the Trading at Close mandate's performance, valuing all executed trades with their closing price. This simple valuation standard allows to remove the replication obstacles caused by intraday movements. Not only does it enable investors to “buy” the management they have analyzed on amLeague’s rankings, it also reduces the tracking error, and provides a reference benchmark for the replicated portfolio.

The Trading at Close performance is displayed in the Trading at Close NAVs' tab on amLeague website.

amLeague_INDEXING process provides 2 types of products:

  • amLeague Indices (public index) are compliant with ESMA recommendations for the future regulation on public indices: methodology, components, reshuffling rules,…have to be publicly available. amLeague indices composition is reshuffled once a month and published on amLeague website
  • amLeague Strategies (proprietary index) are set by investors (institutional, IFAs, banks, multimanagers, …) in order to ensure the most closely replication capacity : all trades passed by asset managers on notional porfolios are replicated on a daily basis

The examples below are not an exhaustive list and are for illustrative purposes only.
