Liquidity Threshold

Quantitative Fund Capacity Analysis (LTA)

Understand the degree to which a fund’s AUM affects trading costs and overall performance

 

Abel Noser’s Liquidity Threshold fund capacity analysis tool (also called LTA) helps ascertain the degree to which growth (or decrease) in a fund’s AUM may affect performance due to fluctuating trading costs and a changing liquidity profile.

 

The analysis also provides a concise summary of a managers’ current trading efficiency and peer ranking.

 

With the ability to project a fund’s rate- of-return as AUM and portfolio turnover change, the quantitative capacity analysis is useful for asset owners, fund complexes, investment managers, investment consultants, and distribution partners.
