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 ALTERNATIVE COST 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.

WHAT IF YOU COULD REDUCE YOUR CASH BUFFERS?

With the right system it's possible - reducing cash buffers means more capital to invest, and likely contributes 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.

KEY CONSIDERATIONS

To be able to minimise your cash buffer, it's imperative to have a clear view of all known - and estimated - cash flows impacting your portfolios, to ensure you are protected against overdrafts. This  is especially complex when investing in asset classes and markets with different settlement cycles (T+1, T+2, etc) and requires sophisticated system support.

Some examples of features that can help lower cash drag are:

1
Strong cash & exposure ladders
Forward-looking cash & exposure simulation as part of order-raising
2
Complete portfolio data
Real-time, complete cash and position data (no FX or cash missing)
3
Quality-controls
Trustable data, preferably via automatic data quality controls
4
LIFECYCLE STATES
Control how to view impact from open orders - e.g. full order / only filled portion / only allocated portion.
5
PROJECTIONS
Include or exclude preliminary inflows & outflows, projected dividends and coupons.
