We're pleased to announce the launch of the ARC Managed Platform Solutions (MPS) Indices - a significant milestone in our mission to improve transparency and rigour in investment performance analysis.
MPS solutions have grown exponentially since the advent of Consumer Duty, offering accessible, risk-rated portfolios to a broader client base. But with thousands of MPS offerings now in the market, selection has become increasingly complex for advisers.
The ARC MPS Indices answer this challenge.
Drawing on performance and asset allocation data from over 750 solutions across 60 firms, these indices offer objective, risk-based peer group comparisons. Unlike the ARC PCI, which is used ex post to contextualise bespoke portfolio performance, the MPS Indices are designed ex ante, supporting selection and due diligence before investment.
Key features include:
This new launch reinforces our position as the benchmark for outcome-orientated research in private wealth. The indices not only support advisers in meeting regulatory obligations but also help MPS providers understand their standing within a rapidly evolving peer group.
