Separately Managed Accounts
Fact
Horizon delivers to each client that what matters most: preservation of capital, liquidity and return.
Approach
For clients with cash balances of $10 million or more, Horizon uses separately managed accounts to insulate client assets from credit problems at clearing firms, prime brokers and other investors. Further, all client assets are held in custody at the Northern Trust Company or with clients' own custodian. This keeps these important assets separate from all other entities and totally unencumbered from any third party or clearing firm actions.
Benefit
With each client's excess cash kept apart from that of every other institutional investor at Horizon, these assets cannot be compromised by events such as large withdrawals by other investors or the most extreme failure scenarios.
