Veriti’s Direct Indexing Technology to Implement Research Affiliates’ RAFI Index Strategies
BOSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#DirectIndexing—Veriti Management LLC (Veriti), a direct indexing asset management and financial technology company, and Research Affiliates (RA), a global leader in smart beta and asset allocation, are excited to announce a new implementation partnership.
Veriti will utilize its innovative direct indexing technology to implement certain index strategies, including those not currently available in an ETF or mutual fund, of RA’s affiliated entity, RAFI Indices.
Veriti provides direct indexing solutions to institutions and private wealth advisors and approaches asset management by developing and administering low-cost, hyper-customized portfolios that focus on tax-efficiency and conscious alignment. RAFI Indices is the global index company of Research Affiliates and has more than 50 live strategies worldwide. Research Affiliates constructs, publishes, and licenses these indices based on insights and strategies developed through their award-winning research.
This partnership combines Research Affiliates’ commitment to delivering value via their RAFI Fundamental, RAFI Single Factor, and RAFI Multi-Factor Indices with Veriti’s tax-efficient implementation technology – thereby providing a compelling value proposition for advisors seeking after-tax outperformance for their clients.
“Investors are increasingly demanding tax efficiency and personalization without sacrificing outperformance potential,” said Jim Dilworth, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Veriti. “Our partnership with Research Affiliates provides investors access to non-price-weighted indices designed to deliver long-term outperformance versus traditional capitalization-weighted approaches.”
“For over 15 years investors have utilized RAFI solutions to capture the excess return potential associated with contrarian rebalancing,” said Brandon Kunz, Partner and Head of Multi-Asset Solution Distribution at Research Affiliates. “By combining our fundamental and factor-based index solutions with Veriti’s tax-efficient implementation platform, investors stand to benefit from multiple sources of potential alpha without sacrificing the benefits of low all-in fees and broad diversification.”
