Indexed Equities



Indexed Equities
Overview
Aberdeen has been managing passive equity portfolios since 1990 and as at January 31, 2012, managed over $10 billion in passive equity strategies with a large proportion of the assets managed under country or regional passive strategies and targeting the mainstream global indices* (S&P, MSCI and FTSE).
The investment team is very experienced and operates an established investment process.
We offer all three main indexed strategies and work with our institutional clients to determine the most suitable approach for their needs.
  • Full replication - hold all stocks in index
  • Statistical optimization - stocks correlated to index
  • Stratified sampling – matching  sector/size of index by sample
*Indexes are unmanaged and provided for illustrative purposes only. You cannot invest directly in an index.
Investment Process
In consultation with our clients, we identify a target tracking error; and taking account of the initial investment size, future cash flows and the structure and liquidity of the index, we agree an appropriate indexation strategy.
We take a pragmatic approach to managing indexed strategies, with careful consideration to portfolio turnover and stock liquidity.
  • Analyse impact of prospective index constituent changes
  • Minimize unnecessary rebalancing
  • Minimize transaction costs
  • Minimize price impact
  • Avoid trading in illiquid stocks
  • Avoid price squeeze points
