Professional portfolio construction
Your adviser follows a disciplined process built on a robust foundation of core investment principles.
Asset allocation
Asset allocation is a critical determinant of return and should be set with a medium-term perspective.
Capital preservation
Portfolios should be designed to be resilient to episodes of market volatility and stress, and their ability to withstand such events should be regularly assessed and monitored.
Diversification
Diversification offers protection from extreme events and drives better risk-adjusted returns. It should be sought across and within asset classes, geographies, holdings and managers.
Risk management
A comprehensive approach to assessing and managing risk is essential. Systematic stress-testing is applied to monitor risk through the cycle.
ESG and sustainable investing
Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors feed into risk and return measurements. In addition, individual client sustainability preferences are considered when constructing portfolios.
Liquidity
The liquidity of assets should align to the risk appetite and investment horizon of the client. Illiquid assets should only be considered where there is adequate reward and high confidence in the underlying soundness of the asset.
Tactical opportunities
Portfolios need to be dynamic in response to changing macroeconomic conditions and market sentiment and the opportunities and risks they create.
Active management
We believe active managers can add value over the cycle after fees. Persistent outperformance is not easy, however. We focus considerable energy on identifying funds with the required risk alignment, skills, resources, experience and processes.
Investment decisions built on robust structure
Your adviser is supported by vast investment expertise and robust frameworks that guide the advice they give you to help you achieve your goals.
Core to this structure is the Investment Committee. Our Investment Committee draws on the expertise of the Chief Investment Office team and Product Review Group to cover all aspects of the investment process from asset allocation to macroeconomic views and product selection.
