MAKE DISCIPLINED, INFORMED INVESTMENT DECISIONS THAT INSTILL CLIENT CONFIDENCE

A unique lens into risk-based asset allocation

Our proprietary database of thousands of model portfolios on which we’ve consulted gives us a unique perspective on your asset allocation. These observations are summerised in our proprietary asset allocation lens, which simplifies and categorises our fundamental views across asset classes. This allows us to distill our portfolio construction work into a straightforward, forward-looking process that focuses on your clients’ goals.

Traditional Equity

Traditional equity may make up the core of an investor’s equity portfolio allocation. Strategies tend to include developed market companies across all sectors. They will tend to have risk and correlations more in line with broad market indices.

Example Benchmarks

  • MSCI World IndexSM
  • FTSE 100 Index

Traditional Fixed Income

Strategies may offer investors capital preservation during a market downturn, higher interest rate risk, periodic income, lower overall risk and more predictable returns than Diversifying Fixed Income.

Example Benchmarks

  • Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Bond Index

Diversifying Equity

Specialized equity strategies may be used to diversify an investor’s equity portfolio allocation. Strategies may offer investors unique sources of return and risk, with the potential for growth paths less dependent on broad world markets.

Example Benchmarks

  • MSCI Emerging Markets Index
  • FTSE EPRA/NAREIT Global Index

Diversifying Fixed Income

Strategies may be used to diversify an investor’s fixed income allocation by offering investors exposure to areas like non-investment grade, emerging markets or more income-oriented investments.

Example Benchmarks

  • Bloomberg Barclays Global Corporate High Yield Bond Index
  • JPMorgan Corporate Emerging Markets Bond Index

 

 

Balanced Core

These strategies offer a mix of traditional stocks and bonds in a single strategy. The actual allocation tends to fluctuate around the traditional 60/40 stock/bond portfolio.

Liquid Alternative

Liquid alternative strategies aim to provide investors with diversification through exposure to investments other than long-only stocks and bonds. The strategies are utilized in portfolios because they typically provide a differentiated source of risk, return and/or low correlations compared to traditional asset classes.

Example Benchmarks

  • HFRI Equity Hedge Index
  • HFRI Relative Value Index
  • HFRI Event-Driven Index
  • HFRI Macro Index

 

 

Broad Asset Allocation

These strategies offer investors exposure to stocks, bonds and alternatives in a single wrapper. The actual asset allocation may vary based on portfolio management’s insights into markets and investment strategy.
