Investment Process
Investment Process
Individuals & Multi-Generational Families
Our investment philosophy is straightforward - to provide exceptional investment results through portfolios that are:
(i) Simple to understand
(ii) Low-cost to implement and maintain, and
(iii) Transparent, so you know what you own and why.
A Disciplined Investment Process
Our Investment Process actively allocates portfolios based on the Investment Committee's latest research and analysis. The process embraces three core tenants:
Data-Driven
The Investment Committee continually maps the key capital market and economic drivers of returns to establish a dynamic view of the current environment. The process is founded upon robust data sources to ensure that it is repeatable and transparent.
Deep Due Diligence
The Investment Committee performs deep qualitative and quantitative due diligence to develop a comprehensive understanding of the investment principals responsible for active management decisions and to uncover key sources of return, risk, and the impact of fees and expenses on net investment results.
Diversification
Asset class returns can be volatile over short-term periods. Long-term expectations for return, risk, and correlations of various asset classes inform the construction of an optimal asset allocation. Proper asset allocation can increase portfolio return and reduce portfolio risk across market cycles.
