Why IskraIndex

History reveals that up to 90% of your portfolio's return depends on getting asset allocation right

A forward-looking optimization model built on probabilistic analysis and the Nobel Prize-winning Markowitz theory. IskraIndex simply introduced a method for defining expected asset class returns and integrated a risk management framework

No personal information or transfer of your funds. You simply follow the IskraIndex model portfolios in your brokerage account, leaving only your email address when subscribing

The fixed cost of the IskraIndex service helps minimize investment expenses - for accounts starting from $5 million, it amounts to less than 0.5% per year and decreases proportionally as the asset value grows. IskraIndex will refund half of the annual subscription fee for portfolios in the Deposit+ line if their return falls below the average deposit rate*

CFA standards for all internal processes and external communications.

The IskraIndex Product Suite

Subscription Tied to Portfolio Performance

"Premium" tariff

 

The subscription cost for one IskraIndex portfolio is 2,000 US dollars per month (963,800 Kazakhstani tenge). A 10% discount applies when paying for one year in advance.

If, at the end of the year, the return on any of the Deposit+ line model portfolios is lower than the average return on deposits with a term of up to 1 year*, IskraIndex will refund half of the annual subscription cost to its subscribers.

*IskraIndex uses the S&P U.S. 1-Year Treasury Bond Index (^SPBDUS1T) as a proxy for the deposit rate. A refund would have been required for only one year over the 6-year and 4-month period from July 31, 2019.

 

To start your subscription:

 

1. Email subscribe@iskraindex.com, indicating the desired model portfolio and its risk level** (only for Deposit+ portfolios), as well as the subscription payment period (month/ 1 year).

2. You will receive a payment link.

3. After payment is confirmed, we will send your account login and the latest portfolio report.

** The risk level should only be indicated for the Deposit+ portfolio, since IskraIndex supports portfolios in this line for low (conservative portfolio) and medium (balanced) risk levels. All portfolios in the Idea line have a high risk level.
