Custom Due Diligence

 

Concentrated Portfolio

No single systematic "cookie-cutter" approach

 

Each manager provides unique and diversifying exposures

     

Avoidance of Tail Risk

 

Strong Sell Discipline

We avoid managers exhibiting:

  • Excessive leverage
  • Extreme concentration
  • Asset/liability mismatches
  • Excessive market directionality
  • Lapses in operational oversight
 

Redemption drivers include:

  • Deviation from stated mandate
  • Manager no longer fits in overall portfolio
  • Material changes to risk profile
  • Significant staff turnover
  • Dramatic underperformance
