Portfolio Management

Four Key Factors Used To Evaluate Investment Managers

Idea Generation 
The key attribute that a manager needs to possess to have the potential to outperform over the long-term is the ability to generate value-adding investment ideas

Portfolio Construction
The quality of a manager’s portfolio construction process will determine how effectively its value-adding investment ideas are converted into consistent outperformance

Implementation
For a manager to outperform, the value added through its investment ideas and portfolio construction process must outweigh
the drag on its performance due to transaction costs

Business Management
Well managed investment firms are more likely to maintain and enhance the competitiveness of their investment strategies over time than poorly managed firms

Investment Philosophy 

Enhancing investment return potential while attempting to limit the volatility of returns. 

Our approach to portfolio construction is based on the belief that active management outperforms as it provides more consistent value added returns with less volatility, particularly in weak markets. Active management not only at the security selection level, but also the asset allocation level help produce higher risk adjusted returns.
