Parametric is a leading global asset management firm providing various portfolio management services and investment strategies directly to institutional investors and indirectly to individual investors through financial intermediaries. Parametric’s investment decision-making processes utilize proprietary technology and are guided by structured, mathematical, and rules-based methodologies. Parametric’s portfolio management services and strategies assist clients in meeting their desired market exposure, risk management, tax management and return objectives in a cost-effective manner. These services may be tailored to meet specific client needs, which include but are not limited to: systematic equity portfolios, tax-managed core equity portfolios for taxable investors, fixed-income, centralized portfolio management, futures and options-based overlay services for clients seeking to securitize cash, re-balance asset allocations, managed currency and duration exposure, and specialty index strategies. Parametric collaborates with clients and their advisers to design and implement customized solutions through the application of equity, fixed-income and derivative programs. Clients may impose restrictions on investments in securities or types of securities and set additional investment guidelines as they deem necessary.

Parametric’s provides investment management services through a variety of products and vehicles, These include but are not limited to: discretionary separate accounts for individual investors; U.S. registered investment funds such as mutual funds and ETFs sponsored by both affiliates and third parties; U.S. and non-U.S. collectively managed funds such as private funds, collective investment trusts, commingled trust funds, and UCITS which may be sponsored by Parametric, affiliates, or third parties.

Parametric provides portfolio management services to various wrap fee programs sponsored by broker- dealers, banks or other investment advisers. Parametric receives a portion of the wrap/program fee collected by the program sponsor for its services. Wrap accounts are generally managed in the same or similar manner to other separately managed accounts. However, wrap programs may impose specific restrictions and investment guidelines that are more restrictive than fully discretionary client accounts; this is discussed in the wrap program sponsor’s disclosure brochure. In addition, wrap programs may mandate that Parametric direct transactions to a specific broker-dealer, which may prohibit Parametric from seeking best execution or aggregating trades. As a result, wrap accounts may not achieve the same performance as fully discretionary accounts.

Under such arrangements, Parametric provides third parties with a model portfolio. The third party retains discretion to implement, reject, or adjust such model and the third party is responsible for executing any corresponding transactions on behalf of the third party’s underlying clients. Parametric does not affect or execute transactions for any underlying clients of the third party participating in the model delivery program and Parametric does not consider such underlying clients of the third party to be clients of Parametric.
