Strategy

Composition

Summary

Investment Strategy

The process is anchored by the belief that by utilising a combination of both top-down and bottom-up approaches in currencies, equities and debt, investment opportunities can be clearly identified and exploited. The first element of the process is to identify the key cyclical and structural factors that we expect to emerge over the short to medium term (and whether these factors are best exploited through rates, equities, currencies, or a combination of them).

Risk Management

A risk management overlay is employed to ensure that the portfolio is not overly concentrated in any type of instrument and allows the portfolio to be calibrated to match a preset threshold of maximum acceptable downside risk.
