The manager blends his top-down market perspectives with the security selection skills of the underlying managers in order to construct a portfolio of multiple alpha sources with a low correlation of return streams.

Asset allocation and fund selection is guided by our proprietary asset class valuation model and implemented in accordance with the overarching macro thesis. Capital is dynamically shifted between alternative and traditional funds, across both equities and fixed income, seeking to capitalise on prevailing market conditions.

As one of the largest alternative managers in the world, Man Group manages a wide range of high-calibre and fundamentally-driven teams across the global capital structure, providing a fertile source of active strategies in which the team can invest.

In line with its unconstrained and style agnostic investment approach, the strategy’s regional and sector exposures may deviate substantially from the peer group.

The manager has full access to Man Group’s risk analytics and trading systems, providing real time transparency of performance and risk data at the position level. Combined with their daily interaction with the underlying managers, this greatly enhances the monitoring of portfolio exposures and timely allocation of capital.

Meanwhile, portfolio risk is controlled through Man Group’s sophisticated risk management system and our unique behavioural skill-development programme. This incorporates objective feedback on investment decisions and one-to-one coaching to develop strengths and address weaknesses for each of Man Group’s managers.
