Portfolio Construction
Efficient allocation of risk is important for the successful realization of investment objectives. As a global asset manager with real-time data and proximity to markets, we dynamically monitor portfolios to take advantage of potential short-term dislocations and reduce risk. The core tenets of our investment philosophy are below:

1. Knowing our clients & their goals, time horizons and risk tolerance

2. Constructing portfolios by allocating to risk factors

3. Taking advantage of opportunities by actively monitoring risks

4. Emphasizing diversification and innovation

5. Integration of non-financial factors into our analysis of securities & investment managers
