Our experience in designing and managing portfolios for High Net Worth and affluent clients is echoed in a pooled fund product.
At Exponent Investment Management, we help clients move from active business or professional income to passive investment income more commonly referred to as retirement. In other words, we help clients live from their investments and other income sources. We call it Your State of Independence.
The pooled fund structure caters to the needs of some of our clients. We will apply the same investing principles we have used for over twenty years, but do so in a fund form.
The pooled fund is effectively a private mutual fund for accredited investors only, and that all clients of Exponent under a discretionary portfolio management mandate are accredited investors.The pool is best suited for these situations:
Significant family holdings that include additional small accounts: Some clients have substantial investments to deploy but will include a few or several small accounts. Using a pooled fund for the smaller accounts allows for instant diversification in one investment.
Size of portfolio to invest: Having a pool allows us to extend our service offerings to children and other family members of our clients. While the client receives the benefits of direct stock ownership in dividend paying companies, the family member or child may not be as far along in terms of capital to invest. The pooled fund allows an investor a cost effective manner to invest in our portfolios without being excluded by minimum investments many of our competitors impose.
Systematic investments or withdrawals: A subset of clients will be depositing or withdrawing funds from one or some of their investment accounts every month. It could be an RRSP, RESP, TFSA or a RRIF. In all cases, the result is the same; a transaction must transpire – a sale in the case of a withdrawal, or a purchase in the case of a deposit. A pooled fund enables us to avoid the monthly “what stock are we selling/ buying this month to fund the transaction?” decision. By selling units in the fund, we are effectively selling or buying a bit of everything thereby keeping the balance of the portfolio as intended.

The safeguard provided by the structure of the EIM Partners Fund does cost money. The cost of this structure is approximately 0.6% on an annualized basis for the E series of the fund, a series reserved exclusively for Exponent Investment Management clients. This cost is borne by the fund itself. As the fund grows, many of the administrative costs will diminish and the goal is to continue to make the EIM Partners Fund cost competitive.
For Exponent clients custodied with Aviso Wealth, there are no fees associated with buying or selling units in the fund. The portfolio manager will be receiving a performance fee if the value of the fund units experience a return of 6% on annualized basis. There is no performance fee payable if the unit price of the fund is below previous values. This is known as a high watermark. What it means for unit holders is that the portfolio manager is incentivized to grow the unit value but not at the expense of unnecessary risk. The performance fee is 10% of the return between 6% and 12% and 15% of the return above 12%. Please consult the fund’s offering documents for more details.
