Philosophy and Process

Investment Philosophy

Active multi-asset investing based on clearly defined objectives implemented simply and transparently provides a powerful combination of capital appreciation with controlled volatility. The team believes a multi-asset approach is the most effective way to achieve long-term investment goals, and active management can add significant value for clients.

Investment approach

Our approach combines active asset allocation, active portfolio construction and active risk management. First, the team analyses diverse sources of fundamental research, developing long and short-term views on asset classes and regions, setting the portfolio asset allocation framework accordingly and identifying key risk scenarios.

Next, it uses scenario analysis to test risk/return model variations, looking to capture additional returns through pricing anomalies, valuation distortions and thematic trends. This is implemented via index futures, direct securities, passive funds and active managers. Finally, the team monitors markets, portfolios and views, conducting further scenario, factor and correlation analysis, ensuring pre- and post-trade compliance with target models.

Key Risks

Capital at risk

All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of the investment and the income from it will vary and the initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed.

Counterparty risk / derivatives

If a counterparty to a financial derivative contract were to default, the value of the contract, the cost to replace it and any cash or securities held by the counterparty to facilitate it, may be lost.

Credit risk / debt securities

Bonds may be subject to significant fluctuations in value. Bonds are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk.

Credit risk / non-investment grade

Non-investment grade securities, which will generally pay higher yields than more highly rated securities, will be subject to greater market and credit risk, affecting the performance of the Fund.

Currency Risk [non base currency share class]

Non-base currency share classes may or may not be hedged to the base currency of the Fund. Changes in exchange rates will have an impact on the value of shares in the Fund which are not denominated in the base currency. Where hedging strategies are employed, they may not be fully effective.

Equity

Investments in equities (directly or indirectly via derivatives) may be subject to significant fluctuations in value.

Interest Rate Risk

A rise or fall in interest rates causes fluctuations in the value of fixed income securities, which may result in a decline or an increase in the value of such investments.

Liquidity Risk (Fund of Funds)

Investments in other funds are subject to the liquidity of those underlying funds. If underlying funds suspend or defer payment of redemption proceeds, the Fund's ability to meet redemption requests may also be affected.

Operational Risk / Third Parties

Investments in other funds have direct and indirect dependence on other service providers. The Fund may suffer disruption or loss in the event of their failure.
