While we tailor portfolio construction to the needs of each client, we adhere to these tenets when building an organization’s portfolio.
Meeting a client’s long-term return goal requires a meaningful allocation to equity, history’s highest returning asset class.
We use portfolio diversification to control risk and volatility through market cycles.
While passive investing is a sensible approach in highly efficient markets, we believe that disciplined active management in areas of market inefficiency can deliver excess returns.
Alternative investments are not distinct asset classes, but rather opportunity sets with a high degree of performance variability among managers. We believe alternative strategies provide a greater opportunity for outperformance for those with expansive networks and skill in manager selection.
Sourcing and manager selection typically get top billing in conversations around private investments, but one underappreciated aspect of a successful private allocation—explored in our recent whitepaper—is the art of pacing commitments to ensure appropriate portfolio allocation.
