MULTI-STYLE BALANCED - Process
Benchmark: Customized

Client objectives and guidelines drive our asset allocation process. We work closely with each client to develop a customized, long-term target allocation based on each client's unique risk and return objectives, guidelines and constraints, and then to optimize and actively manage a portfolio based on that profile.

Four step asset allocation process:




1. Identify Client Objectives

2. Develop Strategic Allocation

3. Manage and Monitor

4. Apply Tactical Allocation


1.   Identify Client Objectives
   Client specific parameters:
 
  • Return objectives
  • Risk tolerance
  • Time horizon
  • Guidelines & constraints
  • Asset class selection
2. Develop Strategic Allocation
Customize target allocation:
  • Efficient frontier analysis
  • Monte Carlo simulation
  • "Common Sense" overlay
3. Apply Tactical Allocation
Active overlay to strategic allocation:
  • Tactical recommendations typically published once or twice per year
  • Specific application based upon client's asset classes and constraints
4. Manage and Monitor
Consistency with client objectives:
  • Review & refine client's long-term target asset allocation
  • Rebalance as necessary to keep portfolio in line with target allocations and objectives
  • Oversee individual portfolio styles
