Portfolio FactsheetThe firm’s investment process is driven by fundamental economic and business analysis and is guided by our internal investment committee that oversees our firm’s Portfolio Managers. The due diligence process consists of generating investment ideas, gathering data from industry-leading Financial Data & Analytics providers, constructing research reports, outlining an investment thesis, and continually reviewing portfolio asset allocations and securities to ensure they continue to be appropriate for each strategies’ investment objectives. The firm leverages a combination of in-house expertise, industry-leading technology, and analytics such as Bloomberg and Sentieo financial data terminals and third-party research providers such as Morningstar and Bloomberg Intelligence to uncover insights into markets and guide a disciplined, informed decision process.
The firm implements a combination of actively and passively managed Mutual Funds and ETFs, individual stocks, and individual fixed income instruments to construct portfolios that meet a range of financial objectives and to navigate the unique market and sector risks. The firm implements active mutual funds in corners of the market which present unique risks or market inefficiencies such as small-cap stocks, emerging markets, and international equities. The firm believes active management in these corners can help to navigate the unique risks associated with investing in them, as well as add value through active security selection in less mainstream global markets with fewer analysts and traders to compete against. In more efficient corners of the market such as large-cap stocks or US Treasury securities, the firm believes the fee paid to active managers reduces returns, and that not only is it highly difficult for fund managers to outperform in these markets, but it is even more difficult to select the managers which will outperform in these sectors in the future.
