Objective

Seeks to outperform the Multi Market Index (a broadly diversified global index including private equity and real estate asset classes) by 1.5% annually over a full market cycle (typically 3-5 years).

Benchmark

Multi Markets Index, a proprietary index

Concept

A relative return strategy that seeks excess return through active portfolio management decisions across capital markets (at the asset class, country, and currency levels), and within capital markets (through sector, sub-sector, and individual security selection).

Investment philosophy

  • Intrinsic value is determined by the fundamentals that drive a security’s future cash flow.

  • Discrepancies between market price and intrinsic value arise from market behavior and market structure providing opportunities to outperform.

  • A truly integrated global approach produces superior research.

  • Seeks to generate returns from the correction of significant discrepancies between price and fair value.

Investment process

  • Combines active top-down asset allocation and currency management with active bottom-up security selection.

  • Employ a fundamental price to intrinsic value investment process to asset classes, currencies, and security selection.

  • Use market behavior analysis to understand reasoning in the marketplace for prevailing levels of market pricing.

  • Actively manage risk with the objective of achieving returns that properly compensate for risk taken.
