Benefits
Benefits | How the investment strategy will produce investment returnsThe Investment Manager uses an active, systematic approach to invest in diverse range of alternative risk premia across global markets. In order to determine the asset allocation, the Investment Manager evaluates publicly available economic information and conducts proprietary research to identify valid risk premia strategies, determine their key market drivers and ultimately the expected risk and return. As part of this research, implementation of the risk premia strategies is considered based on quality, liquidity, cost, operational efficiency and capacity. The portfolio is expected to reflect a diversified allocation to risk premia strategies over the longer term. The allocation will be determined by consideration of the performance and investment objectives of the Fund, and the Investment Manager's views on the expected risk and return for each strategy. In determining the weighting to be allocated to each asset class in accordance with each risk premia strategy, the Investment Manager use various portfolio modelling techniques and consider, among other things, the expected return and risks of every asset class and the risk interdependence across the different investment opportunities. The Investment Manager draws on proprietary portfolio construction and risk management tools to ensure appropriate diversification across and within the asset classes. The Investment Manager continuously monitors the exposure to the strategies to ensure that it continues to reflect the investment views and outlook of the Investment Manager and therefore the investment objectives of the Fund.
