Strategic asset allocation re-imagined
Based on client portfolio objectives and constraints we:
- identify the betas or market risks that offer superior risk adjusted returns and analyse the time horizon (strategic vs tactical);
- identify the required level of alpha to generate the required rate of return which determines the optimal type of the investment vehicle (passive or active);
- evaluate the liquidity format of investment vehicles (listed securities through to private market vehicles) versus the expected alpha, based on the expected time horizon of the investment opportunity;
- analyse the total cost of ownership (total fees and costs) for the chosen investment vehicle vs the expected alpha and the level of expected net return.
The process combines qualitative and quantitative analysis and screens investment opportunities across all asset classes which meet the client’s investment objectives.
