Why a portfolio approach matters?

Strategic Asset Allocation
We use 5-year capital market assumptions incorporating expected returns, risk and correlation estimates and overlay it with market capitalisation and volatility considerations to determine the optimal “through-the-cycle” allocations.

Tactical Asset Allocation
Our Tactical Asset Allocation enhances the Strategic Asset Allocation models with tactical over or underweight tilts for each asset class, expressing our 6–12-month views, to capitalise on near term market or economic conditions.

3 D investment philosophy
Diversity – we use third party views from leading banks, research and asset management firms.
Debiasing – questions, insights and analysis are debated to mitigate biases.
Decision-making – is collective and based on anonymous voting.
