Our investment framework since 1997

Since 1997, we have developed an investment framework that adapts the U.S. endowment model to private investors. The main characteristics of this approach are:

Heavy Allocation to Alternatives

Unlike traditional portfolios focused on stocks and bonds, we allocate heavily to private equity, venture capital, hedge funds, and real estate.

Long-Term Investment Horizon

Our approach is designed with a 10+ year horizon and a willingness to lock capital in illiquid investments when appropriate.

Manager Selection (Alpha Focus)

We emphasize the selection of top-tier managers, with returns driven more by manager skill than by market movements.

Broad Diversification

Portfolios are diversified across asset classes, geographies, and strategies to improve consistency and reduce concentration risk.

Illiquidity Premium

We accept lower liquidity in exchange for higher expected returns through access to exclusive opportunities.

Reduced Reliance on Public Markets

Lower exposure to traditional public equities and fixed income allows the portfolio to behave differently across market cycles.

How do we build portfolios?

We structure portfolios under a fund-of-funds model, broadly diversified across public and private markets, including

Equities

Fixed income

Hedge funds

Private equity

Real estate

Disciplined implementation

We implement our strategy primarily through proprietary fund-of-funds vehicles advised by the firm, complemented by carefully selected discretionary and non-discretionary mandates.

A core principle of our approach is low portfolio turnover.

Investment decisions are made with a long-term horizon, and structural changes are carried out selectively and deliberately, never impulsively.

Our difference

We do not chase trends

We do not make decisions based on market pressure

We do not prioritize growth over prudence

We build portfolios for decades, not for quarters.

Integrated risk management

Risk control is not an isolated department. It is integrated into

Portfolio construction

Manager selection

Ongoing supervision

Strategic asset allocation

Each decision is evaluated within a clearly defined governance framework, with assigned responsibilities and full accountability.

Investment decisions arise from detailed analysis and collective discussion within a formal structure that prioritizes objectivity and consistency.
