Risk Management
Our risk management process starts with the integrity of our Portfolio Managers and professional counterparties. We only engage and work with reputable counterparties, leading institutional investors and experienced Portfolio Managers. Our fiduciary duty first and foremost is to the investors in the funds.
Once funds are established, investment professionals managing liquid strategies have access to the OMS and PMS systems of their choice. Separately, a team independent from the investment professionals performs daily risk checks to make sure the portfolio’s assets are in line with the mandate and to identify asset or style drift. Regular reviews are performed on portfolios of illiquid assets by a team independent from the Portfolio Managers to confirm compliance with the investment mandate.
