FAQs: Investment Strategy & Solutions Group (iStrat)

Our Multi-Asset Team’s process starts with understanding a client’s objectives, risk tolerances, and implementation considerations. We then develop solutions through:

  • Strategic asset allocation — Risk-focused asset allocation with a longer time horizon
  • Manager research and security selection — Identification of underlying managers and exposures, with a focus on delivering security-selection alpha
  • Active allocation — Discrete processes that seek to enhance returns and mitigate risk

Factors are quantifiable characteristics that explain risk and return, such as “value” — a low stock price relative to a company’s earnings. Decades of industry and academic research have shown that these factors can potentially outperform markets at lower cost than traditional stock-picking strategies. Factors fall into broad categories with different performance profiles throughout the market cycle, and when combined, can have potential diversification benefits.
