How we invest

Although we manage a diverse range of products, there are a number of unifying factors in our investment approach.

We are active managers, seeking to exploit all of the most rewarding sources of return in each asset class or market in which we invest – whether that be through a blend of bottom-up and top-down decisions in our equity and fixed income funds, strategic and tactical decisions in our multi-asset portfolios, or manager selection and asset allocation in our funds of hedge funds.

We are high-conviction managers, convinced that superior long-term performance is dependent on small, autonomous management teams working within a robust risk control framework.

We believe that in-depth research is vital for investment success. Each of our teams carries out thorough proprietary research as well as making use of external analysis. We meet hundreds of companies and managers each year as we seek out the best investment opportunities.

Finally, we believe in the power of detailed performance attribution. Our Reporting team produces in-depth performance attribution analysis that details how our investment teams’ decisions are driving performance. Each team feeds this information back into its decision-making process, helping maximise returns and minimise risk.
