The starting point for the investment process

Risk Balancing

Our risk balancing principle Assets generating returns in bull markets are balanced by

assets generating returns in bear markets.

Construct a portfolio that balances the risk,

targeting an all-weather return.

Bear Markets

Return drivers which perform

during bear markets

• High Quality Gov. Bonds

Bull Markets

Return drivers which perform

Understanding asset class behaviour

We Consider Return Drivers

Example: European Corporate Bonds

Focus on returns from duration and credit risk rather than total return

• A return driver is interpreted as a risk

premium

• Risk is easier to identify when focusing

on risk premiums rather than asset classes

• Correlation analysis is more robust for

risk premiums than for asset classes

European Corporate Bonds Total Return

Risk Free Rate
