Natixis Portfolio Clarity Overview

James Beaumont, Head of Multi Asset Portfolio Management at Natixis Investment Managers Solutions, talks about his team and the free bespoke analysis of advisers' model portfolios that they can provide.

Natixis Portfolio Clarity is the portfolio consulting service of Natixis Investment Managers. Specialized consultants provide objective portfolio analysis to investment professionals who seek a deeper level of insight, using sophisticated analytic tools to identify and quantify sources of risk and return. The Natixis Portfolio Clarity team works with investors all over the world to help them better analyse and enhance their model portfolios. The team then amalgamates that data and shares these top level findings with investors in the form of Portfolio Barometer reports which identify investment trends across risk rated model portfolios.

Comprehensive Portfolio Evaluation*
Our premier service is a comprehensive model portfolio evaluation that culminates in a detailed report that you review with your consultant. This free, bespoke analysis focuses primarily on risk exposures, because we believe risk is a more stable variable than return in portfolio construction. The ultimate goal is to achieve better returns with lower overall volatility.
