Portfolio Diversification and Optimization
We identify risk exposures and their interaction and seek to maximize return for a client’s specific risk budget and financial profile, combining all holdings into a coherent, resilient portfolio.
Strategic and Tactical Asset Allocation
We align each asset class’s risk-return and liquidity features with specific client goals, helping clients identify attractive opportunities while avoiding undesired risks.
Investment Manager Selection and Oversight
We avoid real or perceived conflicts of interest by delegating management of individual investment strategies to a broad collection of world-class managers, each selected for its specific expertise and the unique role its strategy may serve in a client portfolio.
Comprehensive Monitoring and Reporting
We incorporate all investments - no matter where investments are held or how they were selected - when reporting on portfolio performance and exposures. Our clients gain insight from not becoming lost in the details while retaining full transparency.
We employ an endowment
approach to portfolio construction designed to:
-
Generate sustained real growth (after inflation) of principal while meeting the cash flow distribution needs of clients
-
Often include alternative assets, including hedge funds, private equity and credit, real estate and real assets
-
Build exposures to select asset classes to desired levels, adjusting to specific market conditions over time

For clients with concentrated assets, we create long-term plans for evolving a portfolio towards diversification – that we then execute

CAPITAL REVIEW
2023 Quarter 3
In Q3 2023, equity markets, represented by the ACWI Index, witnessed a decline of 3.4%. However, they have surged 11.2% YTD as of October 10, 2023. Major indexes like the S&P 500, MSCI EAFE, and MSCI Emerging Markets all experienced a downtrend between 3% to 4% in USD terms. The decline in US stocks was primarily attributed to the rise in longer-term bond yields. This surge was a result of robust economic data and the Federal Reserve's upward revision of its interest rate outlook for 2024. On the international front, equities fell due to the combination of increasing yields and weaker economic data from Europe and China.
