Simplify was founded in 2020 to make institutional-grade alternative strategies available to all investors through the low-cost and transparent ETF vehicle. Alternative strategies can get complicated, and that is why we named our company Simplify. We prioritize simplifying the complexity of alternatives for our clients, focused on the education of how alternative strategies work and how they can fit into a traditional balanced portfolio. And sometimes it’s best to learn about alternatives straight from the source, which is why we are committed to providing full access to our risk, research, and portfolio management teams to talk strategies, portfolios, and markets broadly. Finally, the right tools and analytics can go a long way when it comes to adding alternatives to portfolios, which is why we also focus intensely on software that can help our clients optimally and efficiently build and manage portfolios that include alternatives.
