Managed Accounts Investor Login There is a distinct need to improve the “governance” of investment funds and Aladdin's Separately Managed Accounts ("SMA") platform is a value proposition that answers an increase in demand from the investor community. Aladdin SMAs effectively ring-fence customers' money in a separate account and/or seperate legal entity that receives daily, weekly and monthly performance updates through the employment of independent fund administrators and custodians. Over the past few years there have been many highly publicised events all leading to different degrees of fraud, which impaired the trust of investors and demonstrated the lack of fiduciary controls that the existing system offers. Investors now require: 1. Complete realignment of interests between themselves and the investment advisory community who manage their monies. 2. Systems that allow investors to better monitor their risks. 3. More control over their monies vis-à-vis flexibility in picking fund administrators, custodians and prime brokers, as well as the ability to tailor the types of risks that an advisor may take on behalf of an SMA. 4. The dissemination and timeliness of risk reporting through customised and transparent avenues a contemporaneous basis. Aladdin believes more properly structured relationships and a more sensitive fiduciary framework will foster stronger, larger, and more mutually beneficial relationships over time.
