How Limina Helps Asset Managers
Generate Operational Alpha

What would it do to your competitiveness and bottom line if all your portfolios suddenly performed 2-10 bps better?

With Limina’s Investment Management System, you can reduce your cash buffer and systematically increase your performance.

The Pain of Cash Drag

Limina’s surveys of asset managers show that Investment Managers keep a 0.5-2% cash buffer. The range is generally consistent across AuM levels and asset classes. It depends mainly on the systems used.

Cash Buffer
What if you could invest more cash with the right system?
 
If that cash is invested at a 10% annual return, it will contribute to increased performance.

 

Tools to Deploy More Cash

By getting a clear picture of cash and exposure both today and into the future, your portfolio managers can keep a lower cash buffer.

With Limina, your investment team gets access to complete, accurate and real-time forward-looking cash and exposure ladders.
