Personalized Portfolio Asset Allocation
Depending on your stage in life you may be focusing on growing your wealth, protecting your wealth, or transferring your wealth; we align your portfolio to your current objectives and adjust it as your objectives change.
Pension-Like Portfolio Design
We do too.
Market volatility is inevitable. However, our portfolio is designed to help grow assets responsibly in up markets, while aiming to provide improved downside protection during challenging markets.
Gone are the days where the traditional 60/40 portfolio will continue to be effective. We think about new ways to manage your money for today and the future.
Strategically, the portfolio is diversified into several asset classes and geographical locations. The asset classes include public and private equity, public and private debt, hard assets and alternative assets. Geographically, we allocate money to Canada, the US, Europe, Asia and Emerging Markets.
Tactically, we monitor and, when deemed appropriate, change the portfolio's geographical weightings, asset class weightings, investment constituents or foreign exchange hedges to capitalize on market, sector or company corrections.
For clients with low liquidity needs we take advantage of illiquidity premiums by allocating a portion of the portfolio to alternative investments such as private debt, equity and real estate – just like pension funds do.
