Investment philosophy

• The preservation of capital - to control downside volatility.
• To skilfully balance alpha generation and risk management within a portfolio framework that seeks to produce strong absolute returns with low correlation to traditional “asset classes” across market cycles.
• To achieve the above through a superior manager selection process, and through a sophisticated process of fund of funds construction, offering multiple levels of diversification between underlying managers, differing strategies and styles and different asset classes.
• Application of stringent risk management controls at every level of the investment process.
