INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT

We strive to engineer institutional-quality solutions and outcomes for all our clients - not just a select few.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We are investment managers at our core, with a deep fundamental drive to outperform in any market cycle and independent of the global macro-environment. We utilize a flexible and opportunistic directive to remain unbiased to market conditions and identify investments and unique opportunities that align with each client’s investment objectives.  We reject a uniform approach and collaborate with every client to define and organize their short and long-term investment goals - ensuring each client’s portfolio is uniquely designed to achieve them.

MULTI-ASSET EXPERTISE

As investment managers, we leverage technology, quantitative research, and risk management to guide a highly methodical portfolio management process.  Our proprietary investment capabilities and managed accounts are performance-oriented and highly disciplined with proven track records and stable management. One of our primary objectives is to deliver exceptional results by offering a diversified blend of proprietary investment capabilities paired with our unique access to many of the world’s top managers who we respect and trust. We are cost-conscious and focus on minimizing fees and frictional expenses to create the most streamlined and cost-effective solutions possible. Our multi-asset expertise spans both traditional and alternative investment strategies and sectors in the public and private markets.

ACTIVE MANAGEMENT

Many passive investment strategies focus solely on long-term capital appreciation and are not adequately prepared for short-term tactical positioning. This passive ideology may be successful when markets continue to rise, however, they fail to capture or maximize profits when markets are erratic, trend sideways, or decline. Investing is a multi-year thesis in one direction, while active management grants the flexible position to profit directionally in various market conditions with the ability to manage risk without disrupting the client’s long-term objectives.

  • We know that real growth is as much about managing losses as it is about generating gains.  Our success is enhanced by our ability to meticulously limit losses. By concentrating on this differential, we consistently preserve growth for our clients. We are patient for the right opportunities to arise and view cash as a viable asset if conditions are not favorable. We will adapt when conditions are advantageous and will incorporate hedging strategies to enhance our client’s core profitability. 

THOUGHTFULLY DIVERSIFIED

We constantly manage a curation of our brightest ideas that focus on capital preservation, best execution, and compounding growth while limiting downside risk. Our focus is on growing our clients’ equity and preserving that growth through diversified and hedged portfolios.  We see value creation in generating tax-efficient gains that compound growth by increasing scale and overall investment capacity.

  • Our Modern Endowment asset allocation model targets a truly diversified approach to asset class and sector selection in both traditional and alternative investments that creates a significantly lower Beta and non-correlation to the equity and fixed income markets. This proven model used by many of the world’s largest sovereign wealth funds, pensions, and institutional managers provides a less volatile and non-correlated portfolio design for tax-efficient income and long-term growth.

  • Our Core & Satellite Tactical Growth model creates a diversified core portfolio tailored to each client’s objectives and risk profile while maintaining a larger cash allocation that is used for opportunistic positioning and trading resulting from special situations and event driven catalysts.  We seek to compound our clients’ capital at higher rates of growth by opportunistically making shorter-term investments around the core portfolio that can provide exceptional risk-adjusted profitability regardless of market conditions. This Alpha-focused strategy enhances absolute return and hedging capabilities with a diligent and meticulous selection of individual securities and options.

  • Our Core Value Equity portfolio model blends U.S. Large Cap, Small Cap, Multi Cap and Equity Income portfolios. We employ a disciplined, value-oriented methodology in security selection. This strategy is designed to target higher growth, and compound returns with lower levels of risk. We employ a conservative and long-term approach that results in low portfolio turnover. This model targets financially transparent and undervalued companies managed by proven leadership teams.   We focus on high insider ownership by executives, attractive price multiples, price-to-book, and favorable earnings forecasts. This “value with quality” strategy of investing is designed to be a core equity allocation and has consistently outperformed in many different market environments and political regimes.

  • Our Core Growth Equity portfolio blends U.S. Large Cap, Mid Cap, and Small Cap portfolios. We structure diversified portfolios of innovative growth companies addressing significant market opportunities through a detailed focus on company management while employing a thematic overlay. Investments selected offer proven management leadership, favorable risk/reward ratios, attractive valuation levels, strong balance sheet, and differentiated and defensible market positions as a disruptor or sector leader.

  • Our Global Value Equity portfolio includes Small Cap, Multi Cap, Focused International, Global Value, and Emerging Markets allocations. This strategy combines diversified portfolios of high-quality international companies that we feel can increase cashflow, EPS, and book value over the next 3-5 years. We focus on valuation and take advantage of mispricing when executing buy/sell discipline.
