We work exclusively with IFAs and our aim is to construct superior portfolios to meet client needs across the full risk-return spectrum. ‘There’s a better way to do this’ is our business mantra and we pride ourselves on having a unique, market-challenging approach. All our services are created with one primary goal in mind – to work in partnership with advisers and allow them to shine. Whatever advisers’ needs, we are here to add value to their proposition, to take the risk and administrative burdens away from their business, and to ensure that they have access to the same cost advantages as leading institutional investors. Working in partnership with us allows IFAs to achieve great client outcomes, because every investment decision is underpinned by Copia’s data-driven approach and technical know-how. In particular, we are seeing high demand for our premium MPS Custom portfolio services: creating bespoke portfolios which are designed to satisfy the specific requirements of an adviser’s client base. We also offer a range of other portfolio services to suit advisers’ business strategies. These include our ‘ready to go’ Copia MPS portfolios, and the IFA-branded MPS Plus service designed to support advisers’ own client marketing. We pride ourselves on our flexibility as a DFM service provider and, in addition, we can undertake research for advisers ready to develop their own portfolios. Since launching in 2013 as a division of Novia Financial Plc, we’ve become one of the most respected DFMs in the industry. In 2021 we were awarded the “Best Value for Money” DFM by Citywire Awards and short-listed in 3 other categories. This success reflects the tight-knit, modern partnerships we have with our clients. Now backed by Anacap Financial Partners, Copia is a stable business with strong growth and is seeing an increasing demand for our services. And we continuously strive to achieve that same high performance for our adviser clients. Managing Director, Copia Capital Management www.copia-capital.co.uk Robe t Vaudry
