How is the fund managed?
Our remit is worldwide. We pick both active managers and carefully selected passive funds.
We actively monitor and if needed adjust weightings, both within a range and by very limited use of Efficient Portfolio Management to offset risk.
We own hedge funds as well as traditional balanced funds and credit funds to seek to reduce volatility as a material part of the portfolio.
We seek higher performance through an element of faster growing companies and global private equity portfolios.
We believe that this structure works better than a buy and hold approach in volatile markets. A change in the zeitgeist is here, and investors need to be better equipped to survive some spectacular market shifts from global and political change. Our global portfolio will seek to address this ever shifting landscape.
​
As managers our aim is to provide investors with Positive Returns - Capital Preservation - Lower Volatility.
