What is Copia Capital Management?

Copia Capital Management’s services include a range of portfolio options, such as the Managed Portfolio Service (MPS), MPS Plus, and MPS Custom, each designed to align with specific adviser and client needs.

Copia Capital offers a suite of portfolio services tailored to the diverse needs of Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs):

Operating exclusively on a business-to-business basis, Copia does not engage directly with retail investors, focusing instead on empowering independent financial advisors.

With its expertise in discretionary fund management, Copia assists advisers in guiding their clients toward effective investment strategies.

Copia Capital offers a suite of portfolio services tailored to the diverse needs of Independent Financial Advisers (IFAs):

  • Managed Portfolio Service (MPS): A selection of portfolios designed to meet various client investment requirements throughout their financial lifecycle. These portfolios combine passive and active funds to enhance transparency, diversification, and risk management.
  • MPS Plus: An enhanced service that enables IFAs to establish their own investment brand through white-labeled portfolios. This offering includes comprehensive marketing support and access to Copia’s fund management expertise.
  • MPS Custom: A premium service providing bespoke portfolios tailored to the specific needs of an IFA’s client base. Copia collaborates with advisers to define precise portfolio specifications and manage personalized investment strategies.

These services are designed to integrate seamlessly with an adviser’s business strategy, aiming to reduce risk and administrative burdens while offering access to cost efficiencies comparable to those enjoyed by leading institutional investors.

Copia Capital Management treats all actual and potential Managed Portfolio Service (MPS) investor clients as retail customers. The firm offers two types of mandates for managing model portfolios: “off-the-shelf” models and customized portfolios tailored to specific adviser firms’ target markets.

Both mandates are managed to deliver value for money while enabling adviser firms to provide suitable investment decisions on behalf of their clients.

Financial performance

As of October 31, 2024, Copia Capital Management’s proprietary Risk Barometer registered a reading of +0.37, an increase of +0.12 from the previous month, moving into the green zone and indicating a positive global economic outlook.

Copia’s portfolios are managed in alignment with the Risk Barometer’s insights. The positive shift in the barometer suggests a favorable environment for risk assets, which is reflected in the portfolio realignments and performance metrics.
