Why Choose Us

As the Macro Strategy Investments team we take a strategic long-term view, using both proven and proprietary quantitative and qualitative analyses to determine the macro or "big picture" drivers of performance of a broad range of asset classes. We then use these asset classes as building blocks for portfolios, choosing each based on a top-down perspective of absolute and relative long-term values.

In essence:

  • We believe markets are inefficient.
  • Large secular themes are driven by:
    - Fundamental macro-economic trends.
    - Soros's reflexivity principle: high prices alter the supply/demand balance, ultimately creating low prices.
  • Thus we see long-term perspective as crucial.
  • Against this backdrop, we are active asset managers of global and local integrated multi-asset class portfolios. Hence we will make material changes to our portfolio based on our expectations for the long-term prospects, rather than short-term volatility, of particular asset classes.

We offer our clients

  • A wide range of multi-asset class investment solutions across the entire client risk/return spectrum.
  • Team's formidable 100 years of combined investment experience.
  • Excellent strategic asset allocation skills have translated into a long-term, consistent track record of top quartile performance.
  • Investment views are implemented actively and with conviction.
  • A repeatable, disciplined process built on the foundations of our top-down investment philosophy.
  • Access to top quality, in-house equity research, which provides valuable bottom-up perspective.
