HONG KONG, Jan. 9, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- DeskTrading, a
leading expert in innovative Separately Managed Accounts (SMA)
technology, is reporting a significant surge in demand for SMAs
across the global financial markets, with demand being greatest
within equity and currency markets. DeskTrading suggests that SMAs
are beginning to solidify themselves as an attractive alternative
to mutual funds for retail investors and traders, offering
increased control over how their portfolios are managed.
Between 2010 and 2017, an 85% global growth in SMAs was
confirmed, with demand growth between 2017 and 2020 in the retail
FX market standing at around 20% per annum. This demand has been
witnessed most notably by emerging managers operating with assets
under management beneath the $1
billion threshold; a change that is understood to be the
direct result of both investors and traders seeking to maximise
control over their portfolio and enjoy the same level of
personalised money management that was once available only to
corporations and institutions.
"Separately Managed Accounts certainly aren't new, but over the
last few years we've noticed a strong renewed interest in this form
of portfolio management, especially within equity and currency
markets," says Steve Wong, Head of
Trading at DeskTrading. "Investors are beginning to diversify, and
separately managed accounts are providing traders with both the
transparency and the control they need in every step of the
process, and this puts them in the driving seat more than ever
before".
FX SMAs deliver a number of benefits for investors and traders,
including increased transparency, greater financial flexibility,
real-time professional oversight by an experienced management team,
and fully customised portfolio management; a benefit that cannot be
experienced through pooled investment vehicles.
Alternatives on the whole have significantly increased in
popularity over the past few years, and it is now estimated that
more than half of all new hedge fund assets are deployed using
non-traditional vehicles, such as Separately Managed Accounts. It
is widely anticipated that the renewed interest in SMAs that has
been reported by DeskTrading will continue to grow as more and more
investors realise the benefits.
