Investment Objective

Achieve a gross-of-fee total return of at least 3.5% above the currency CPI rate over rolling periods of 5 years or more within moderate risk profile. 

Investment Approach

The Portfolio is underpinned by a strategic asset allocation with periodic tactical shifts. The investment process combines quantitative asset allocation techniques using an optimisation algorithm with a tactical asset allocation overlay in determining its preferred asset class exposure and potential thematic tilts. A bottom-up fundamental analysis process identifies the underlying instruments that will give exposure to the various asset classes.
