OUR INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

The primary intent of our business is to align client needs and desired outcomes with the advice process and the implementation of investment solutions. Our investment process thus starts by establishing an appropriate client outcome and benchmark and then building solutions that have the best chance of meeting our client needs and investment objectives. We take a holistic view of both the client and the investment universe in determining the most appropriate solutions, which include a combination of our core unit trust range, third party unit trusts, model portfolios, private share portfolios and private equity portfolios.

We have adopted a long-term strategic asset allocation framework as a basis for our investment solutions. Over long investment time horizons comparisons between active managers and passive strategies show that very few active mangers outperform an efficient frontier and thus a core component of our solutions, where appropriate, utilises passive and rules-based strategies to access the market optimally. Active managers are included in our solutions where they have a proven track record of generating excess returns. Since asset allocation is the greatest predictor of portfolio volatility, we construct our portfolios with a clear mindset to risk mandates using a building block approach. This allows us to increase risk and returns in a predictable and measurable manner, creating distinct portfolios by simply increasing or decreasing the weightings of asset classes. An additional layer of portfolio risk management is introduced through diversification both across asset classes and within asset classes. We devote a great deal of time and resources aimed at identifying and extending our asset class categories and how best to access them.

Finally, we believe that a dynamic asset allocation framework can add value to portfolio returns when asset class return profiles and correlation behaviours are understood in different market regimes. Ongoing management of our investment solutions thus centres on understanding market regimes and the behaviours of asset classes in different market cycles. Through our proprietary models we assess certain lead indicators of market cycles and use this to position portfolios optimally for the expected market environment. Based on the signal strength of the lead indicators we will then implement appropriate tilts to the long-term Strategic Asset Allocation weightings.

Asset class return expectations and correlations change in different market cycles. We have thus adopted a dynamic asset allocation approach, which allows us to tilt away from our long-term strategic asset allocations through different market cycles. The size of these tilts is informed by the signal strength of various lead indicators.
