Mosaic Release Adds Increased Functionality to the Concord Suite of Portfolio Design Tools

 

Matawan, NJ- June 27, 2006- Concord, a leader in outsourced wealth management technologies, announced today the release of Mosaic, Concord’s latest innovative technology to enhance its SMA (Separately Managed Accounts) platform. This new addition to the Concord suite of portfolio design tools will enable portfolio managers to quickly allocate client assets among a group of non-proprietary asset managers.

 

“The key driver behind the development of Mosaic is the ability for portfolio managers to efficiently prepare client proposals,” explains Lee Argush, CEO and Co-Founder of Concord. “Using different asset allocations among a collection of strategically selected platform managers within the appropriate asset classes is a winning strategy.”

 

Additional functionality of Mosaic allows for the integration of outside managers with an institution’s internal (proprietary) asset management style. “Not only is Mosaic a portfolio management tool,” notes Project Manager Lauren Scarano,  “but it also enhances the sales process by demonstrating to clients the benefits of an open architecture approach to managing assets under Modern Portfolio Theory.”

 

Mosaic joins the Concord arsenal enabling banks, registered investment advisors, broker dealers, and other asset management providers, to outsource and private label a wealth management solutions platform using institutional quality managers. Supporting this capability is Concord’s web-based technology which facilitates the creation of client proposals and designing complex portfolios across a broad spectrum of assets classes, from traditional styles to alternative investment classes such as hedge funds, ETFs, mutual funds, and real estate.
