factors:
30. The environment we are currently in is highly uncertain, which is why there is
significant central bank intervention
The best investment process is one that takes into account the many scenarios (both
positive and negative) that could unfold and how portfolios should be adjusted to
address potential risks and return
Investing broadly, including an allocation to non-traditional asset classes and
managers, can enhance diversification and provide a smoother pattern of returns
Don’t let a recent university graduate manage your money – think carefully about who
you choose to make investment decisions on your behalf

CORE BELIEFS
Our Investment Philosophy consists of beliefs which underpin our approach to investing. They define our understanding of sources of superior risk adjusted returns, and specifically the management of risks to the achievement of the investment objectives of our investors.

In an unpredictable world, the Framework helps us to comprehensively assess what the future might hold by taking into account a number of scenarios that may unfold. This gives us an understanding of how risks and return opportunities change over time for both individual assets and total portfolios.
This information then allows us to choose asset allocations that will help achieve our portfolios’ objectives. By adopting this risk-aware approach, we aim to provide a smoother pattern of returns for investors over time.
That’s the value of our unique, forward-looking investment approach.
Our scenarios analysis is used to identify target allocations which are more risk-return efficient than the benchmark, because these portfolios must remain true to label.
As the riskiness of assets changes through time, we vary the asset allocation to position the portfolios to achieve a higher reward for risk than the benchmark.
Some of the numerous scenarios we consider.
How do we make sense of this? Using a systematic approach to understanding the detail in each scenario
Path 1 - Passive investments
have defined asset allocations so are suited to clients who like the security of knowing where their money is invested
Are a cheaper alternative for clients who want to rely largely on the market for returns
What has been your experience investing in markets in the past?
The 1st option we can consider is putting your money in a passive investment like an Index Fund.
It invests in mainstream assets classes that you may be familiar with such as Australian & global shares, listed property and fixed income.
This means the returns you will receive will be dictated by the market. So when markets are up, your returns will generally be up. When markets are down, the value of your portfolio will generally be down.
This could lead you to either falling a long way short of your goal or there is always the potential that you land at a place higher than your goal. The downside of passive investments is that we don’t have a lot of control over those returns and it’s likely to be very volatile.
This type of option is suited to investors where it’s very important to know exactly where their money is invested because the portfolios’ mix of growth and defensive assets are managed within defined ranges.
This option is also suited to those who don’t believe that an Investment Manager can outperform the market and therefore don’t see value in paying the higher fees associated with active management.
If the range of potential outcomes in path 1 bothers you, we can minimise the volatility of the returns but to reduce the downside risk you need to give up some of the upside - Nothing comes for free. (see next slide)
Path 2 – Actively Managed Investments
Can generate a slightly narrower range of potential outcomes due to the expertise of the Active Manager
Have access to more diverse assets to better manage downside risk and deliver returns above their benchmarks
How important is ------------- to you?
(E.g. diversification, approach to downside protection, liquidity, a tailored strategy, active mgmt etc.)
The 2nd option we can consider is to invest in actively manage funds. This means that specialist investment managers who have access to a more diverse range of assets can make predictions about what will happen in the markets and try to manage the risk of a loss.
These managers have access to all the mainstream assets that Path 1 had as well as some alternative options and this helps them to manage downside risk and narrow the potential range of outcomes they achieve.
It is suited to investors who can see value in paying a slightly higher fee in exchange for the expertise of an Active Manager who they believe can outperform the market.
Path 3 – Inflation Linked
Provides flexibility to change the mix of assets as the markets change
Delivers a smoother, less volatile pattern of returns than the market
Would it be important to you to have access to a fund that can take an active approach to managing money and make changes to asset classes in order to generate more consistent returns?
The 3rd option we can consider is to lean on some experienced investment managers to make decisions to move the money and assets classes around in order to achieve a specific outcome with more consistent returns- This process is known as dynamic asset allocation.
Traditional diversified funds have defined asset allocation ranges because they’re managed to a benchmark not to delivering a specific client outcome. This means the investment managers are restricted in their ability to manage changes in risk and/or take opportunities for greater returns leading the fund’s performance to largely reflect the market’s performance – good or bad.
A dynamic asset allocation approach means that changes to the mix of assets can be made easily as market conditions evolve so as to provide more control to manage risk and capture return opportunities. This leads to the portfolio being better positioned for a range of possible future environments and allows it to deliver a more predictable path of returns providing a ‘smoother ride’ and better investment outcomes.
It is suited to investors who are seeking more certainty of achieving their specific outcome and see value in paying a high fee in return for more consistent returns
Finding the firms who are the best at stock selection isn’t easy. We believe that there are very few firms in any given asset class that have a real and sustainable competitive edge. To make our job even more difficult, we’re sceptical that a manager’s past performance is a reliable guide to how well they will do in the future. This chart and the next shows why our scepticism is well placed.
Each column shown in this diagram represents the return of a manager versus the global share index in the three years to 31 December 1999. Those above the line have outperformed while those below the line have underperformed the index. If its true that past performance is a reliable indicator of how a manager will perform in the future, we would expect to see something similar in the next chart which shows managers returns in the same order for the three years period to 31 December 2002. Right?
Wrong! There is clearly little if any consistency between the two periods. The two best performers in the previous period are now the worst performers and the worst performers than are now the best performers.
So, if past performance can’t be used to identify skilled managers, how do we do it?
