Tailored mandates for discerning investors

Differences

How SMAs Differ from Pooled Funds

Unlike pooled vehicles, SMAs offer:

Direct ownership of underlying positions

Customized risk limits and exposure targets

Greater flexibility in portfolio construction

Access to any of our five strategies, individually or blended: fixed income, all-cycle, global equity, equity & commodity long/short, and global currency

This structure is ideal for clients seeking maximum transparency, flexibility, control and allocation across strategies.

Investment Approach

SMA mandates may include

Fixed Income

Laddered, investment-grade bonds built around capital preservation and predictable income

All-Cycle

Rules-based allocation across equities, bonds, real assets, and currencies, adjusted as market conditions shift

Global Equity

Durable, well-run businesses in the U.S., Hong Kong, and Japan, bought when price doesn’t reflect their worth

Equity & Commodity Long/Short

Global Currency
