Outsourced CIO (OCIO) Solutions

Asset Allocation, by far the most important investment decision, rarely receives the attention it deserves. While robust DFA models are effective at quantifying the trade-off between expected and worst-case results, they do not address the critical question of how much short-term downside can be tolerated in pursuit of long-term growth.
- DFA/ALM models should be transparent, easily vetted, available to clients with all assumptions challenged, tested and fully disclosed.
- ESG analysis includes modeling the impact of ESG constraints on equity portfolio risk to determine how unintended risk exposures might be offset with passive vehicles or by adjusting the target equity allocation.
