A Step Member Service.
For over a decade, MPI has been the independent peer group benchmark trusted by trustees, professional advisers and investment managers, a STEP Member Service relied on by 23,000+ professionals worldwide. Now, MPI is evolving: introducing TIGA, a new investment gatekeeping and governance platform built on that same trusted data.
Introducing TIGA:
Built on The Benchmark
Independent, verifiable data
TIGA is built on MPI, the independent peer group performance indices supported by STEP. It collects real portfolio performance data directly from investment managers. This ensures that every performance comparison is grounded in evidence, not opinion, giving fiduciary investors a clear, objective view of investment performance.
Defensible standard
By using industry-recognised independent indices, TIGA enables trustees and professional advisers to benchmark performance and demonstrate oversight. It provides the evidence to support confidence and consistent decision-making whilst supporting good governance and strengthening fiduciary accountability.
Clarity for Trustees
TIGA gives trustees a clear, independent view of how investment managers are performing against a recognised peer benchmark. This supports better oversight, stronger governance, and more confident decision-making.
Confidence for advisers
Advisers can rely on TIGA’s independent STEP-member benchmark to support manager selection, monitoring, and review. It provides a transparent, evidence -based foundation for fiduciary advice.
Credibility
for managers
For investment managers, TIGA offers a recognised, independent benchmark environment for presenting and evidencing performance. This strengthens credibility and supports fair, transparent comparison.
For Trustees & Advisers
Built on MPI's Independent Peer Group Benchmark
MPI has provided its independent peer group portfolio indices as a free STEP Member Service since 2012, supporting trustees and private client advisers with objective, comparable performance data. TIGA builds on this established foundation, extending MPI's trusted benchmark into a dedicated investment gatekeeping and governance application designed to support manager selection, oversight, investment monitoring and evidence-based decision-making in a single accessible environment.
Trusted by 23,000 + professionals
MPI's peer group performance indices are used by trustees, private client advisers and family offices worldwide as an objective reference point for assessing discretionary investment portfolio performance. TIGA extends this trusted foundation, bringing the same independent data into a modern governance platform designed to meet the investment gatekeeping and governance needs of today's fiduciary professionals.
Long- established reporting, evolved into a modern platform
TIGA takes MPI's 16+ years of investment portfolio data (covering 2 major global economic cycles), with data drawn from around 50 investment discretionary managers and over 500,000 active investment portfolios, and creates effective workflows to assist Trustees, Private Client Advisers and Family Offices with investment-related activities and promote best practice.
Gatekeeping
TIGA gives users access to independent, comparable data, helping ensure that decisions are grounded in objective evidence. Trustees and Professional Advisers can review our Directory, build focus lists and use filters to compare and contrast investment offerings.
Oversight
TIGA provides clear, structured reporting based on defensible independent reference points. TIGA is collaborative, seeking to support dialogue with managers, encouraging transparency and accountability in governance and reporting.
Governance
TIGA aims to support Trustee Investment Committees and Boards to deliver good governance, helping create a clear audit trail of oversight and decision-making.
Best Practice
Built on MPI's established indices data, TIGA supports alignment with recognised industry standards, with access to professional learning, investment insights, webinars and tutorials.
