Approach
The portfolio management team leverages Man’s extensive investment expertise across both quantitative (Man AHL and Man Numeric) and discretionary (Man GLG) investment management.
David Kingsley, Senior Portfolio Manager of Man Solutions, is responsible for making asset allocation decisions. He is supported by Neil Mason, Senior MD at Man GLG, who provides day-to-day risk oversight on the discretionary trading and overlay hedging strategies within the portfolio.
The core investment principles of the Strategy are:
- Opportunity set - invests across a broad range of investment styles, asset classes, geographic regions, and market instruments
- Investment selection - capital is allocated to a focussed portfolio of differentiated investment strategies so as to capitalise on prevailing market and sector opportunities while increasing overall diversification
- Dynamic asset allocation - risk capital is judiciously divided between three core portfolio components: 'Equity Long-Short' strategies (30-80%), 'Risk-Seeking' strategies (30-60%) and 'Diversifying' strategies (5-30%).
Equity Long-Short strategies are the core allocation of the portfolio and typically comprise specialist equity strategies with a low directional bias, whilst Risk-Seeking strategies include more opportunistic strategies such as emerging markets, credit and long-biased. Diversifying strategies have a low correlation to both traditional assets and other hedge fund strategies, and typically consist of global macro and managed futures.
Allocations to these components are based on a number of macro/micro inputs and capital is dynamically shifted between them in order to capitalise on prevailing market/sector conditions.
