In our May update we discussed some changes to underlying models. While making those changes we had the opportunity to discuss rate cards with new managers and our incumbents, especially given the growth in the holdings in our AAN Core And AAN Growth options.

Key considerations in the creation of the models have always been best of breed holdings and cost reductions through scale.  We use our proprietary ‘Four Pillars’ philosophy when structuring portfolios and then negotiate favourable terms with the successful solutions.

As a product of building scale we can now announce model fee reductions in three of our models including our two largest.
