Our investment philosophy

We prioritise your clients’ investment goals. Our investment solutions aim to achieve the desired outcomes and increase the probability of delivering the portfolio's objective. Asset allocation is the cornerstone of this philosophy. We take considerations into account - from asset allocation, mandate design, and risk management - to achieve your clients' investment outcomes.

Our portfolios are constructed and managed based on the client's objectives, which has the following pillars:

  • Time horizon: We define a time horizon.
  • Risk budget: We determine an acceptable level of risk (this indicates how much a portfolio may fall in adverse market conditions).
  • Return objective: We use a reasonable return target.

Portfolio construction

1. Optimal strategic asset allocation

2. Blending a variety of investment strategies

3. Investment manager and mandate selection

Model portfolios

When you invest your clients’ money in one of our model portfolios, you are investing in
an efficiently constructed investment portfolio. We continually optimise the portfolio’s asset
allocation and maintain the portfolio, so that its construction remains in line with its stated objectives.

Investment consulting

We also offer our investment consulting capability if you have your own Category II FSP licence.

In these instances, we are appointed in an advisory role offering various services, such as investment management research, portfolio construction and attribution, to monitoring of returns, portfolio optimisation, asset allocation as well as reporting and execution.

This allows Category II FSP licence holders to apply our services to their own investment philosophy, which may differ from our outcome-based investing approach.

Most importantly, you also have access to our portfolio managers to make sure there is ongoing portfolio monitoring, which will timeously warn against potential risks and opportunities.
