ClearShares (NYSE:OCIO)

NEW YORK, NY, USA, October 5, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ClearShares, a provider of innovative exchange traded fund (ETF) solutions, announced today that OCIO, which is its longest-running ETF, is now sub-advised by Blueprint Investment Partners effective October 1, 2021. Blueprint is a leader in the creation of systematic and process-driven investment strategies.

Tom Deegan, CEO of ClearShares, noted “ClearShares is excited to introduce Blueprint Investment Partners as sub-advisor to the OCIO ETF. Blueprint applies a rules-based approach to both asset class and time diversification, instilling discipline during emotionally charged market environments. We know Blueprint well and believe this approach, coupled with their experience managing 60/40 balanced strategies, will benefit OCIO investors.”

“We were attracted to a partnership with ClearShares because it’s an innovative firm and offers a quality platform,” says Blueprint CEO and Co-Founder Jon Robinson. “Blueprint strives to manage capital in a way that allows investors to access both long-term growth and prudent risk management, which we believe can take this established investment product to the next level.”

ClearShares OCIO ETF was an early adopter of the outsourced chief investment officer model in ETF form. As an ETF of ETFs, OCIO offers access to an actively managed, diverse portfolio that seeks to outperform a traditional 60/40 mix of global equity and fixed income instruments.

OCIO integrates the cost benefits and transparency of an ETF structure with the advantages of a traditional outsourced chief investment officer model: access to experienced, professional, and top-class management talent; strong fundamental research; advanced risk analytics; and financial technology. Risk analysis and position limits are embedded in the investment process.

The fund is commonly used as a core or total core balanced solution because it delivers a flexible, asset-class diversified 60/40 portfolio as a single holding.
