📊 Part 5 of Our ‘Portfolio Construction’ Series, Elevating Portfolio Efficiency, continues to build on our previous discussions. Our fifth article focuses on portfolio efficiency through the lens of alpha targets and the strategic use of active investments within an active portfolio. In this piece, we explore how our innovative fund selection process not only maximizes alpha but also minimizes tracking error by optimizing the interactions between funds.

📊Part 4 of our ‘Portfolio Construction’ series dives into the "Moneyball" approach for fund selection and portfolio construction, ultimately creating a winning team that outperforms traditional top-ranked funds. Our unique platform and methodology allow us to transform any asset allocation plan into a high-performing investment portfolio. Instead of focusing on individual star funds, we emphasize the performance of each fund within the portfolio, ensuring optimal interactions and overall performance. By applying risk management ideas to active returns, we achieve a greater degree of risk reduction and confidence in our investment portfolios. We fine-tune our selection process to create an alpha stream that meets our clients' return targets while maintaining both total and active volatility within guidelines. Read the full article to see how this approach not only enhances returns but also reduces volatility by taking a team of well-integrated, complementary funds that can outperform a naïve group of top-ranked funds. https://lnkd.in/gceD7qJb Looking ahead, we will explore customizing the team of funds around the client's alpha target and the role of passive investments in an active portfolio. Stay tuned as our next articles will dive deeper into these innovative concepts, further refining our holistic approach to portfolio construction. Join us on the journey to smarter investing!
