Defining Successful Investment Outcomes
Whatever your goals, an effective strategy is the most valuable intellectual asset in achieving a desired investment outcome. Strategy identifies and defines the what and the where of investment, who will manage the process, how you will deal with unforeseen events and the metrics you will reference to measure progress and participants’ performance.
With long-proven capabilities in helping investors and management teams successfully optimise returns based on liabilities, needs, objectives or goals, RisCura brings the experience, expertise and resources that create clear and actionable investment strategies – helping to manage risk while focusing on the portfolio construction, asset allocations and management structures that deliver on every class of financial objective.
The Three Levels of Strategy
Ultimately, the strategy we develop and recommend will be formulated with careful consideration of three key levels of operation:
- Strategic Asset Allocation – the setting of a baseline asset allocation that will maximise the probability of meeting your long-term objectives (read more).
- Capital Allocation – defining how capital will be allocated to investment managers, and the management styles and methodologies that will best suit your requirements (read more).
- Tactical Asset Allocation – setting rules that will safely maintain agility in responding to short-term market fluctuations, while ensuring opportunity costs are minimised (read more).
Customised Solutions Backed by Sound Theory
Asset liability modelling (ALM) is a vital foundation for any investment strategy. It is the tool we use to establish asset allocation parameters in relation to liabilities, objectives, needs or goals. Based on both our own development and leading academic works, our proprietary ALM owes as much to physics as actuarial science, enabling our team of highly skilled specialists to choose mathematical modelling and value analyses over ‘gut feel’ – essential in avoiding unnecessary risk and cost.
Strategies Without Surprises
Our economic scenario generator (ESG) employs proven mathematical functions to forecast the evolvement of assets in relation to liabilities, objectives, needs or goals in a future economic environment, enabling us to recommend a strategic asset allocation that will deliver on strategic objectives. This method is proven to surpass the traditional, deterministic, approach, with a more accurate mathematical representation of real-life dynamics and uncertainty.
