Investment Process

Philosophy

QUEST portfolios are underpinned by the belief that broader asset class diversification enhances the risk-adjusted returns of portfolios. We believe that within each asset class there is a role to optimally combine active and passive investments over the business cycle and that investment holding companies are superior long-term wealth creation vehicles for investors. QUEST portfolios are actively managed, guided by business cycles, growth and inflation outlooks, as well as valuations.

Process

Each portfolio has an established, long-term neutral asset allocation across a broader set of asset classes. Active asset allocation decisions are considered relative to these neutral positions, based on business cycle indicators, the outlook for growth and inflation, and the valuation of the respective asset classes. Within each asset class, the portfolio manager aims to identify a core allocation of active managers, ideally implemented through the use of closed-ended funds. Passive instruments are used to reflect short-term tactical views, as these instruments are more liquid and can be traded at lower fees. QUEST portfolios are well diversified across asset classes and external capital advisors.
