Aetos fully customizes its approach based on each client’s unique objectives, tolerances and constraints, encouraging clients to be as involved as they choose. They believe that clients should set strategic asset allocation targets with permissible ranges of exposure within each asset class. This helps committees to maintain their focus on long-term objectives and resist the natural inclination to adjust the portfolio’s exposures based on short-term events, as well as allows both for the establishment of a disciplined rebalancing policy and for modest tactical tilts. Aetos recommends that such tilts be established with an intermediate time frame in mind and be governed by a disciplined process which incorporates fundamental valuation disciplines.
