Investment Philosophy
While we believe that financial markets are broadly efficient, opportunities to add value still exist by skilfully exploiting various rewarded risk premia and return anomalies caused by investor behavioural biases. These opportunities manifest over various time frames spanning longer-term signals (such as valuation and sustainable company quality), medium term signals (such as analyst sentiment), and short-term signals (incorporating price movements and company news flow).
The evolution of return attribution over time, as described in this chart, has shown that outperformance can be decomposed into different components. The systematic elements are those that can be easily replicated with simple approaches (e.g. buy low P/E stocks to capture a value risk premium).
Our stock selection signals (alpha drivers) borrow from systematic beta strategies in that they are disciplined quantitative encapsulations of a fundamental investment insight. We seek to capture elements of proprietary alpha through more detailed analysis and sophisticated decision rules delivered via robust research and our team’s global investment management experience.
Our stock selection signals (alpha drivers) are founded on fundamentally based investment insights, complemented with a large body of academic research that highlights human behavioural biases creating persistent mispricing opportunities and a growing body of work supporting the incorporation of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) considerations. We believe that the incorporation of ESG issues can add value for clients and, consequently, all our strategies integrate
and / or screen on ESG considerations. We incorporate ESG issues into all active strategies where we have full discretion and encourage incorporation where the client limits that discretion.
Combining these complementary and nuanced signals through robust portfolio construction techniques and efficient implementation leads to better risk-adjusted return outcomes in the long term.
Our investment team have been managing systematic Australian and global equity strategies for over 20 years. This experience is critical to delivering better investment outcomes through a deep understanding of the specific nature of the equity markets and the risk / return characteristics of systematic quantitative equity strategies.
