Russell enhances transparency around transitions
Russell Investments aims to improve on transparency by providing transition management data to the Inalytics Transition Implementation Performance Standards database.
Russell stated the arrangement would enable Inalytics clients, such as superannuation companies, to review transitions carried out globally by Russell for the past five years. This will also enable investors to access summary information about transition performance across a wide range of asset classes.
Russell stated that its arrangement with Inalytics would enable clients to identify those managers that could provide service efficiencies that lead to higher returns.
“We have always argued for a transparent approach to transition management so clients can identify providers with consistently accurate pre-transition cost estimates versus actual costs,” said Russell Investments manager of investment services, Australia, Sally Corbett. “This initiative will highlight to clients the importance of sophisticated risk management in delivering successful transitions.”
Corbett said that Russell’s analysis showed that superannuation funds could gain 20-50 bps per annum by simply reducing inefficiencies in their portfolios through appropriate implementation techniques.
“Allowing funds to evaluate providers based on their performance data translates to higher returns for the end investor,” she said.

A member body representing some prominent wealth managers is concerned super funds’ dominance is sidelining small companies in capital markets.
Earlier this month, several Australian superannuation funds fell victim to credential stuffing attacks, which saw a small number of members lose more than $500,000.
Small- to medium-sized funds have become collateral damage in an "imperfect" model for super industry levies, a financial institution has said.
Big business has joined the chorus of opposition against the proposed Division 296 tax.
