We offer a comprehensive suite of global multi-asset investment solutions delivered through managed accounts. This includes risk-based portfolios, low-cost ETF portfolios, goals-based strategies and tailored solutions for specific client needs. These portfolios are supported by institutional asset allocation, market insights and a range of adviser resources designed to help firms deliver strong investment outcomes and client experiences.

How We Think

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.

Motion_sensor_active

We believe markets are not fully efficient

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.

Earthquake

We believe investment risk is more than volatility

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.

Alt_route

We believe in portfolio diversity and quality

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.

Trophy

We believe our clients success will be our success

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.

Investment Process

Our investment process is separated into four proprietary elements, developed using our combined +80 years of asset management experience in order to provide robust, diversified portfolios for our clients.

In the following section we provide a brief overview of each step within our investment process.

Strategic Asset Allocation

The assets you invest in drive the majority of portfolio returns over the long term. Our strategic asset allocation is developed via an iterative, multi-stage process anchored around two key processes:

Capital market assumptions

Optimisation and simulation

Tactical Asset Allocation

Over shorter time horizons, opportunity exists to improve investor returns through active management by:

Minimising drawdowns

Capturing market upside

Proprietary Manager Research

Manager selection is more nuanced than purely focusing on the best people and process on paper. We believe manager selection is a key area of alpha generation.

1000 funds

200+ manager meetings p.a.

Portfolio Construction

Our quantitative tools construct the optimal asset mix based on the specific risk and return objectives of each portfolio while our qualitative insight overlays this output with the experience of the investment team.

Drummond ETF Series

Drummond ETF Series

These portfolios are designed for investors and their advisers who, having determined their investment objectives, are seeking a low cost but professionally managed and diversified global multi-asset solution.

The ETF Series combines Drummond's strategic and tactical asset allocation processes into clearly defined portfolio mandates:

Drummond ETF Dynamic

This portfolio has a dual objective of generating returns above CPI over the cycle whilst maintaining a strong focus on downside risk management. To achieve this dual objective, the portfolio has a flexible asset allocation strategy. This enables us to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, participating in the long-term growth of equities when times are good and conversely protecting capital by moving to defensive assets during negative periods.
