Services For Plan Sponsors

Commission Recapture

Are you looking to lower your expenses, reduce commissions, and control transaction costs?

CAPIS is the leading provider of commission recapture services for the plan sponsor community. Designed to provide additional transparency, our comprehensive quarterly reports help fund boards monitor brokerage allocation and commission rate statistics while providing relevant statistical analysis of their funds and peer universe. The reports include a high-level transaction cost analysis (TCA) which enables management to identify trends and spot outliers without getting too granular. Most importantly, the CAPIS team plays an active role in the process, communicating with sub-advisors about participation to ensure the program is effective.

CAPIS offers flexible options to satisfy directed commission requests. With best execution as the top priority, clients can execute directly with our 24-hour global trading desk or through any of our global trading partners. Recapture requests can also be satisfied using global equity, fixed-income, and options trades.

Designed to fit your plan’s specific needs, CAPIS’ commission recapture program offers customized reports and analysis, online tools, and superior compliance and client support.

Comprehensive Reporting

Monitoring best execution is a primary responsibility for all fund sponsors. To help them fulfill their fiduciary obligations, CAPIS’ quarterly Ally Reports provide a comprehensive look at execution and brokerage allocation statistics, to help evaluate manager performance, participation, and overall commission costs. The Ally Reports provide unique insights into the allocation of fund assets.
