Harnessing deep and differentiated asset allocation research, our iStrat Multi-Asset Team builds and manages investment solutions that reflect how individual clients define success.

Multi-asset investing that starts and ends with each client’s objectives

Solution scope and design

Our team works with clients to define their risk and return goals and to incorporate specific constraints like volatility, liquidity, and downside sensitivity.

Strategic asset allocation

We use a risk-focused asset allocation approach that incorporates a longer time horizon and integrates active allocation and risk-hedging strategies.

Manager research and security selection

We select underlying managers and exposures in pursuit of security-selection alpha within the asset class allocations, leveraging insights from our Fundamental Factor Team.

Active allocation

We incorporate discrete processes that seek to enhance returns and mitigate risk via allocation tilts that draw on our multi-asset research and broad Wellington insights.

Oversight and evolution

Over time, the team validates, challenges, and evolves investment solutions in line with the client’s objectives, market conditions, and the opportunity set.

The structural research that supports our investment solutions

Our long-term research agenda is informed by our experience managing portfolios and questions that arise from client engagement, and focuses on specific challenges around the construction, management, and governance of multi-asset portfolios. Here, we highlight several key areas of research.

Time for a closer look at income’s role

Many investors underestimate the impact income has on a multi-asset portfolio over time. Today’s shifting interest rate environment only adds to the need for a fresh look at different income allocations and their potential risks and rewards.
