Portfolio Construction
Each client portfolio is fully customized to achieve its unique risk, return, mission (ESG), liquidity, cash flow and fee preferences. Clients directly own their investments with no "sleeves" or fund-of-funds required. Silvercrest OCIO portfolios have achieved client objectives in part as a result of being streamlined: stripping out unnecessary complexity, investment line items, illiquidity, opacity and cost. Best-in-class managers selected on behalf of clients tend to be capacity constrained, more concentrated, with lower turnover and less volatility. Sophisticated portfolio risk analytics is employed at the portfolio, manager and securities level to identify the level, location and correlation of identified risk.
