Our process include analysis, debate, decision-making, and implementation. A team approach, which allows individuals to work independently in creating and consuming analysis and drawing conclusions, followed by rigorous debate to consensus, permits our investment team to gather a multitude of opinions and avoid groupthink.

We believe asset class returns are influenced by the business cycle, which is the five- to ten-year cycle of expansion and contraction that we witness in global economies. By understanding where we are in this cyclical landscape and how asset prices may respond, we evolve a client’s asset mix to take advantage of opportunities in good times and reduce risk when markets underperform.
