Stage 1: Understand how much risk we need to reach our targets Client outcomes drive our investment process and to achieve our minimum return targets, we start with how much risk we need to take over the longer term. In it’s simplest form, this is expressed as a percentage of the risk of investing in purely global shares. - Stage 2: Identify the investments with the best growth potential. Next we decide which asset classes to allocate capital towards, requiring us to identify and understand the best available opportunities around the world. To do this, we work with independent economists as well as those close to markets, to build a broad and balanced outlook. - Stage 3: Decide how much risk to take right now Every month we review whether to increase or decrease the risk of our portfolios, while always remaining within the agreed risk budget. Within any client’s mandate we can routinely flex risk up to around 110% and down to around 85% of the long term risk needed to deliver target returns. - Stage 4: Build the portfolio This requires careful thought, not only about the potential returns from the investments identified in stage 2, but also how they interact and piece together. Our aim is to construct an efficient portfolio that offers the best risk reward profile within the tactical risk budget from stage 3.
