Our Services

Our research platform is conveniently grouped into 2 research areas: Macro & Markers and Asset Allocation. Between the 2 areas you will find 10 publications and a number of tools, to match your specific needs. Our flagship reports are available in three languages: English, German, and Dutch. All reports can be subscribed individually and we have multiple packages available, designed to cater to your specific needs.

The responsibilities of a professional managing money often involve providing private clients with timely and clear market outlooks and reviews. Additionally, there's a need to prepare charts and market information for internal meetings, such as those with the investment committee. Creating these reports and materials can be time-consuming and divert your attention from your primary tasks. This is where ECR's white label solutions can be incredibly beneficial. They offer a cost-effective and efficient way to save time and resources. These solutions are delivered in a manner that allows easy customization to match your market perspectives and branding. Our reports and tools are designed with clear presentation, easily understandable language, and a non-technical approach, making them an ideal starting point for your needs.

We offer specialized consulting services to our Investment Management clients, starting with our Model Portfolio Scan. When you are investing in over 20 diverse mutual funds and ETFs, understanding where returns are generated or potentially missed can be challenging. For example, do you have precise insights into the geographical and sector allocation of your combined equity funds? And is the duration of your bond portfolio fully aligned with the benchmark or your investment objectives? Our Model Portfolio Scan provides a thorough analysis of your multi-asset mutual fund portfolio, aiming to reveal new insights. The scan assesses portfolio-wide indicators, including PE ratio, dividend yield, and ESG factors. 

Furthermore, it includes performance attribution, shedding light on how portfolio performance was achieved. Commonly utilized for portfolio adjustments, the scan can incorporate 'what-if' scenarios for specific funds. Questions regarding the suitability of holdings, alternative funds, or adjustments in fund allocation will then be effectively addressed. The Model Portfolio Scan empowers you to comprehend the key drivers of your portfolio returns and can be enriched with regular updates, making it an invaluable tool for professional investors optimizing multi-asset portfolios.
