We employ a macrothematic, scenario-driven approach to delivering optimal risk-adjusted returns through investment cycles, seeking opportunities within the dominant themes that are shaping the world, and applying them in a responsible manner in our clients’ funds.

The philosophy is premised on the following investment levers to drive fund performance:

Taking the appropriate risk at the appropriate time Source of returns and alpha generation Management of risk budget; and Sustainability of performance

The belief is that these are the “core drivers” necessary to achieve sustainable, compounding returns over the long term that will allow investors to achieve their required targets with a focus on not just the return side of the equation, but also a significant focus on risk management and that as stewards of capital, we should only be taking the appropriate risks at the appropriate time.

Whilst the specialist portfolios have different risk and return profiles, the investment philosophy remain consistent across the portfolios. The principles that guide our investment philosophy remain consistent when applied to all asset classes both locally and globally. We do not subscribe to a single stylistic investment philosophy but rather to the core premise of remaining invested and being diverse.

We advocate the need to be adaptive to changing market conditions as new information is being disseminated continuously. We are aware that financial markets are generally efficient, but opportunities will present themselves, driven by extreme human behaviour or sentiment. Also, as market participants have varying investment time frames and liquidity requirements, assets may become mispriced on a short-term basis, thereby creating investment opportunities.

In the execution of the investment philosophy, we believe it is important to inculcate the following principles as fund managers:

1. Ensure consistency of views and scenarios across asset classes.

2. Include sustainability considerations in developing expected returns and in taking risk - this includes but is not limited to ESG factors.

3. An assessment of the appropriateness of a fund’s risk budget in relation to its investment objectives.
