Multi Assets – Global Macro

Philosophy

Multi-asset investment solutions are common, yet very diverse: traditional “static” asset allocation, « risk parity » strategies, strategic allocation to market benchmarks, flexible allocation between equity and risk-off instruments, etc. These asset allocations come with constraints that may imply structural exposures, which in turn reduce the portfolio manager’s ability to adjust exposure and manage short-term risks.

We believe that robust long-term performance is best achieved with a variety of decision-making tools, permanent adaptation to the market environment, and disciplined risk analysis.
Based on this philosophy, we propose a strategy, that:

  • Invests in all major asset classes globally;
  • Uses the full exposure leeway to meet the required risk/return profile;
  • Benefits from a rigorous decision-making process combining discretionary analysis with our proprietary analytical framework.

The strategy targets a robust long-term return objective that manages short-term opportunities and risks but aims to take advantage of long-term market trends.
