Investment services & hedge fund strategies
Our process begins with development of a macroeconomic view which enables us to identify imbalances and catalysts in different markets as well as identify key drivers of returns. This in turn helps us develop a framework for allocation of investments into different strategies.
The decision to allocate to different strategies is followed by a process of selection of managers within each strategy. This process of selection is a continuous one. One that relies on our investment research and constant monitoring of managers within our universe.
Absolute returns are at the centre of our IVC Ascent Fund. We look to maximise upside returns (alpha) while minimising downside correlation (beta) with other asset classes.
The three key areas of focus for capturing alpha are:
Finally, the portfolio goes through rigorous stress testing, ensuring that the portfolio is beta neutral, liquid with low downside correlation to other managers and asset classes.
