## Benchmarking and Indexation

What we do

- Independent Benchmark Construction

Our independent benchmark construction service helps us create benchmarks where calculations are complex or require difficult-to-find data, with returns and constituents calculated daily or monthly, enabling straightforward performance tracking and accurate peer comparisons.

- Index Calculations

Our proprietary technology enables us to customise and automate all relevant measurement processes for index calculation and development from a knowledge base that extends beyond the calculation of indices to the design, construction and rules that govern them, along with back-testing, model testing and development of ideas into quantitative models.

- Smart Beta and Thematic Index Construction

Our smart beta and thematic construction service combines the benefits of passive investing with an overlay of active investing strategies to deliver a reasonably priced product that offers both diversification and attractive risk-adjusted returns.
