Asset allocation

Our Asset Allocation Committee meets regularly to determine the best way forward. We use external parties, both independent macro research providers and the research teams of investment banks, to further refine our positions. 

We encourage unbiased external scrutiny of our opinions and believe this is a vital ingredient in our success. We also benchmark our opinions against historical data, employing technology to flag market opportunities. The end result is a buy list of robustly researched assets for investment managers to use when constructing portfolios.

Investment rules

Our investment rules have been designed to work even within the harshest market conditions, and we apply them to all our products. For our bespoke and managed portfolio services, these form the key inputs for our risk management system. Following this system, we assess portfolios daily for deviations from expected volatility, asset allocation, buy list and concentration limits. 

Rigorous application of our rules, including maintaining high levels of liquidity, have put us in a strong position to weather any unexpected storms that may occur in the marketplace.
