We firmly believe that investors’ expectations of real and monetary conditions in the future determine their investment behavior today and therefore impact the performance of different asset classes. As a result, we believe it is possible to identify the cause and effect relationships between economic realities and capital markets.
We start our investment process by studying this relationship in different economic regions and across many asset classes in a historical context. We identify periods of time in which comparable economic conditions prevailed and when asset classes exhibited comparable performance and risk characteristics. Within these “regimes” we select what we believe to be the best choices among different asset classes for each point in time.
We take these findings and, using quantitative methods, create an optimally diversified portfolio.
