Absolute-return strategies.

Strategies intended to perform with less dependence on the direction of markets.

What it is

Less tied to the market.

Most of a portfolio rises and falls with the market. Absolute-return strategies aim to do something different — to perform with less dependence on which way markets move, providing a measure of return that is less correlated with the rest of the portfolio.

We advise on absolute-return strategies where they genuinely diversify the portfolio and earn their place, rather than for their own sake.

How we advise

Less market dependence

Seeking return with less reliance on market direction.

Diversification

Adding a less correlated return stream to the portfolio.

Genuine, not nominal

Including strategies that truly diversify, not merely claim to.

Earning their place

Allocating only where the strategy adds something real.
