We have:
• Awareness of the bigger macro picture, opportunities and risks
• Deep understanding of business and economic cycles, and markets
• Experience across all asset classes, not just equities and bonds
• Determination to avoid being a passive victim of boom & bust equity markets, particularly when forward-looking returns are unattractive
• Use of the methods and instruments of sophisticated institutional investors
• Preparedness to be different – adaptable and contrarian – avoiding the inflexibility and intransigence of conventional investment managers
We are committed to:
• Clear vision of what a good multi-asset multi-strategy portfolio looks like
• Consider investments in all asset classes and alternative investment strategies
• Controls to ensure that the portfolio is not inconsistent with macro views and risks
We focus in particular on:
• Expected returns based on current valuations
• Return drivers (economic growth; inflation; and interest rates) or alternative returns
• Volatility of price
• Correlation with other investments
• Down-side risk
• Liquidity
