Why Choose EasyAssetManagement?
We’ve adopted a data-driven, algorithmic approach to investing that does not rely on human judgment and can be objectively tested and affirmed using historical data.
Our algorithmic data-driven asset management approach uses large amounts of data to train our algorithms to identify patterns and trends that can help to improve investment decision-making. This leads to better investment returns and reduced risk.
We understand that everyone has different risk appetites, so we offer a wide range of investment options to suit all needs. Whether you are a conservative investor who is looking for a low-risk investment with a steady return, or an aggressive investor who is willing to take on more risk for the potential of higher returns, we have an investment bundle for you.
Investment Options
Our portfolios can be applied to various EasyAssetManagement accounts including a Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA), Retirement Annuity (RA), Unit Trust or Discretionary*.
*Discretionary accounts are those which don’t have the same restrictions that the others do, and can contain both equities and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).
MFSP
Managed Factor Share Portfolios (MFSP) - Building Blocks
Invest in one of our portfolios which uses a combination of these building blocks, or create your own portfolio by selecting and investing in the ones which align with your risk appetite and investment style. The intrepid adventurer knows that it doesn’t take just one skill to conquer a mountain. Having a few different building blocks helps diversify your portfolio, so that when conditions aren’t ideal in one area of the market, or mountain, you only catch a few drops instead of having to tread through a monsoon.
Each of the Core portfolios is associated with a risk range. The higher this number is, the more investment will be allocated higher-risk asset classes such as equity - with a corresponding increase in expected returns. Core portfolios are also available in RA and TFSA accounts and are constructed to comply with the investment criteria governing retirement funds (regulation 28) and TFSA funds respectively.
MEP
Managed ETF Portfolios (MEP) - Core
Core Managed ETF Portfolios cater to a range of risk profiles from conservative to aggressive. These portfolios blend a variety of asset classes: local cash, bonds, property, and both local and international equities and use only ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) in their construction.
Like how we select assets for our building blocks, we use algorithms to allocate investments to each asset class with the goal to achieve a targeted risk and return outcome.

MSP
Managed Share Portfolios (MSP) - Enhanced
Our Managed Share Portfolios Enhanced Range offers pure equity portfolios for the more aggressive investor as well as enhanced variations of our Core range (risk targeted portfolios). Enhanced Portfolios cater to a range of risk profiles from conservative to aggressive. These portfolios offer a more sophisticated investment approach targeting returns in excess of, and risk that is similar to or less than, their selected benchmarks. Our algorithms analyse the relationship between risk factors over various economic and market cycles and invest in each of our equity building blocks, or variation thereof, based on that analysis. Enhanced portfolios are also available in RA accounts and are constructed to comply with the investment criteria governing retirement funds (Regulation 28).
MLP
Managed Leveraged Portfolios (MLP) - Alternative
Our leveraged equity portfolios are designed for the more sophisticated investor seeking strategy diversification and enhanced returns. Our algorithms analyse the relationship between risk factors over various economic and market cycles, and we invest in each of our equity factor building blocks based on that analysis. Through the use of derivative instruments, we are able to position the portfolios both long and short to maximise portfolio outcomes. Proprietary algorithms are utilized to determine optimal exposure levels and to facilitate sector and share weights, investment style and sector rotation to fully capture excess returns.

Deciding on the right investment portfolio is a complex task and with a good number of variables to consider, many feel that it's beyond their capabilities to make a decision without the help of an investment advisor. Unfortunately, in many instances, advisers are ill-equipped to cater to the varying demands of the South African population and as a result, investment advice remains limited to a small portion of our people.
We have considered this and designed and partnered solutions, products and investment processes that recognise these failings. Allowing us to deliver a flavour of investments that works, just for you.
