Investment philosophy and process

In our view, maintaining consistent exposure to the markets over time is one of the best ways to earn attractive returns.

Building portfolios around investors’ goals—and aligning those portfolios with the risk tolerance associated with each goal—should provide a higher level of comfort with the overall investment strategy and help investors remain focused on achieving them, rather than making changes as a reaction to short-term market turbulence.

Our five-step investment process limits volatility and manages risk to help investors achieve their goals across all market conditions.

Pursuing investor goals: five key steps

1. Active asset allocation
2. Active portfolio design
3. Active manager selection 
4. Active portfolio management
5. Active risk management
