Benchmarks

Various balanced benchmarks according to each Fund’s exposure profile.

Investment Process

  • The process starts by defining the strategic asset allocation and constructing an optimal policy mix using both traditional and alternative asset classes.
  • With the objective of capitalizing on market dislocations and adding incremental value, we then define the tactical asset-allocation strategy, sourced from both traditional and alternative data sets.
  • The third step of the process consists in identifying best-in-class managers via our proprietary suite of manager analytics, with the aim of providing access to the right styles at the right time and taking advantage of the manager’s alpha.
  • Risk management allows the team to identify, quantify, and manage risk sources across multiple time horizons using custom-built risk models.
  • The final step of the process is portfolio construction through optimal integration of multiple sources of value-add using the latest advances in optimization theory.
