Investment Process
The managers aim to discover unique philosophies and strategies that are highly effective. They determine the security weighting and risk allocation based on the compatibility of each approach's philosophy, alpha, and risk and the level of confidence of the team.
Multi-Manager Strategies
Using innovative risk-management methodologies, our multi-manager strategic solutions aim to combine distinct sources of alpha from Samuel Freshfields' broad range of investing approaches. Portfolio managers play an important part in the company’s internal strategy oversight. As a result of this exposure, they have a thorough understanding of the techniques in our array.
Building an Integrated Risk Framework
Managers examine all of the company's initiatives and create a risk framework to determine how to distribute capital and mitigate risk. The team often uses cash flows to bias the portfolio toward risk factors within a specified limit after establishing initial allocations.
Qualitative Assessment
The team uses a qualitative approach, concentrating on strategies with distinct investment philosophies and a large active share. Individual strategies may be highly volatile, with few, if any, diversified investments. As risk is handled as a group, we want managers to focus on their primary proficiency: asset selection within their discipline.
Quantitative Assessment
A quantitative perspective is sometimes used to assess strategies. The goal is to find distinct alpha sources and integrate them in a way that minimizes the portfolio's most systematic risk biases. Overlap analysis, alpha correlation, market dynamics, stress testing, and scenario analysis are among the analytical tools used by the team.
Portfolio Construction
A portfolio design method based on the risk factor is the outcome of combining research, investor knowledge, and risk management. Strategic solutions are designed to be diversified, with a profile that is similar to the benchmark and the ability to generate high alpha.
Client-focused solutions
Our equity lineup includes a number of approaches designed to help meet investors’ needs and objectives. The following are a few examples.
