Case studies

Explore how our Portfolio Construction and Strategy Team works with clients across a number of scenarios to provide superior investment solutions.

Fixed income optimisation Fixed income optimisation

Client challenge
Finding an optimal fixed income allocation that balances the need for lower equity correlations from sovereign bonds with the potential of high yield’s income generation and broader risk-on, recovery environment.

Our approach
Our PCS experts collaborated with the CIO to design the most relevant scenario analysis and stress test of current and multiple proposed allocations.

The outcome
A macro perspective and bespoke proposal that reallocated existing strategies and introduced a new and dynamic solution.

Model portfolio construction Model portfolio construction

Client challenge
A wealth manager faced ongoing challenges after a series of acquisitions, including the integration of disparate model portfolios and non-scalable processes within its new book of business.

Our approach
Our portfolio strategists leveraged PCS’s proprietary database to highlight relevant investment characteristics within the client's current model spectrum and conducted a comparative model analysis to demonstrate key differences found in the acquired models.

The outcome
The client effectively streamlined the merging of acquired model portfolios through custom comparisons conducted on an ongoing basis.

Product line-up review Product line-up review

Client challenge
Strategic review of European equity funds available in a large wealth manager’s investment options.

Our approach
PCS specialists conducted a full review of the new fund selection to present to the client’s Investment Committee, offering perspective on whether end clients maintained sufficient choice with minimal overlap and the strategies remained true to the wealth manager’s stated philosophy.

The outcome
A review and consultation of internal and external risk-modelling solutions, which provided confidence in the client's selected product line-up.

Review of proprietary processes Review of proprietary processes

Client challenge
Insecurity about whether existing portfolios were aligned with current trends and opportunities within the marketplace.

Our approach
Our PCS team spent time understanding the client’s philosophy around portfolio construction and leveraged our proprietary database to ensure relevant feedback and benchmarking would be provided.

The outcome
