Number of US Car Manufacturers 1865- 2010
Number of Funds >50m USD AUM, 2001-2014 Successful asset managers will win with clearly differentiated value propositions, rather than relative
outperformance.

Example: ORS Portfolio Construction The PM looks down this list when making decisions
PORTFOLIO MANAGER VIEW 1 Asset Selection 6 2 Conviction 5 3 Risk Limits 4 4 Gross Exposure Limits 3 5 Sector Exposures 2 6 Factor Exposures 1 INVESTOR/CIO VIEW
The Investor or CIO looks up this list when making decisions
These Type-2 Non Core Technologies all
enhance what your team does.
ORS provides a framework that unites these very different views.
The PM‘s decisions and convictions are traded consistently with the requirements
defined by the Investor/CIO.

Non-Core Technologies Enhance your Business
They make your team better at what they do
There are barriers to Uptake:
Management Bandwidth to assess value
Teamwork: who is the decision maker in a Fund Co?
Self-Knowledge: go beyond ego
Implementation Worries: These ideas must be introduced as
non-core & low risk.

Team’s capabilities
Identify process gaps and allow
the Robot to work with you! It
will help your business grow.
