Investment Management

A Signature Discipline.

INVESTMENT PHILOSOPHY

Our approach to investment management is humble in concept and efficient in practice. It is grounded upon more than a century of market history and informed by our collective decades of investment experience. Executed with cost-effectiveness and pragmatism in mind, our methodology acknowledges the give and take of return and risk inherent to all investments and is designed to be applicable to a very wide range of individual client scenarios.

Capital market prices reflect collective investor expectations for the potential risks and returns inherent to all investments. This crowd-sourced wisdom leaves little room for incremental gain over the aggregate performance of similar securities. Nonetheless, certain investment characteristics have shown to support greater-than-average returns over time. We manage portfolios built to favor these characteristics, while emphasizing portfolio diversification within and among a diverse range of asset classes, to foster the optimal experience for our clients and partners.

Based on that Investment Philosophy, the following features define our Investment Approach:

RISK-TARGETED

We consider risk an equal peer to return in determining appropriate paths for client portfolios

DIVERSIFIED

We emphasize broad diversification across a range of global asset classes

FACTOR-DRIVEN

We tilt portfolio exposures to emphasize investment characteristics suggestive of potential long-term outperformance

CUSTOMIZED

We map combinations of these major asset classes to specific risk-tolerance levels to formulate our range of investment solutions
