We recognise that everyone's investment journey is different, and we can't rely on the past as a guide to the future. As such, we seek to actively manage our portfolios within a disciplined and conservative framework to minimise risk and deliver on client objectives over the long-term. We believe everyone wants to benefit when markets are strong and protect their capital when they are not.
Our investment philosophy is centred around four key beliefs.
We believe in active management both at a portfolio level (tactical asset allocation) and within the underlying asset classes, seeking to identify which sub-sectors have persistent opportunities for outperformance and those managers best positioned to capture this. This requires the mandate flexibility to act with discretion and experienced investment decision makers to oversee the process.
Often the biggest risks are not easily observed. These not only include investment risks but liquidity, counterparty and operational risks. We undertake significant proprietary research into economies, asset classes and underlying investments to build robust, risk aware portfolios.
Given markets are not efficient in the short term, we believe portfolios should be constructed to reflect this uncertainty by being built with high quality investments that provide diversity across asset class, geography, and underlying managers.
Our business is structured with the strongest alignment of interests. We are 100% owned by the investment team and all members are invested in the portfolios alongside our clients.
