Portfolio Construction
All client portfolios are unique. We do not use a "one size fits all" approach to portfolio construction. Using our proprietary Frontier Engineer® asset allocation methodology, we build custom solutions for each client based on a thorough understanding of each client's unique investment objectives, risk budget and liquidity constraints. Once the overall investment allocation strategy is developed, we engage our experienced investment research team to identify our highest conviction managers for each mandate. Frontier Engineer® methodology simulates thousands of probable outcomes for each asset class, factoring in the dynamic relationships among return, volatility and correlations.
