“BEST IN CLASS” STRATEGY

Since 1 March 2017, the Efficient Group has outsourced the portfolio management of the Efficient branded single-manager funds to various established external asset managers on a ‘best in class’ basis. These funds were previously managed by Efficient Select on an in-house basis. The strategic decision to outsource the portfolio management was made to enhance the long-term success and sustainability of the funds, as well as to reduce the costs of operations and the portfolios’ Total Expense Ratios (TERs).

Investors benefit from the ‘best in class’ outsourcing strategy through increased economies of scale, greater efficiency and more flexibility and access to a diverse set of experienced fund managers.

Boutique Investment Partners (BIP), tasked with the process of selecting appropriate managers for the funds, monitors the performance of the portfolio managers. To determine who the best portfolio managers would be, BIP did thorough research and followed a process of due diligence. The following asset managers are currently appointed:
