The Pyramis Asset Allocation and Investment Strategies Team was formed to pair multi-asset class product solutions with disciplined portfolio construction processes to seek to deliver superior and consistent long term results for institutional investors and investment professionals.
The team is committed to providing world class institutional service that offers a platform of diverse resources and solution sets. The Team continuously develops, tests, and models new portfolio ideas to meet the challenges in an ever changing investment environment.
The Asset Allocation Team consists of ten seasoned professionals with experience in consulting, actuarial and corporate finance.
The team’s experience and capabilities are extensive with the primary focus on three key functional areas: investment research and strategy development, portfolio management, and client service. The team’s global research platform is designed to continually seek to identify long-term and intermediate-term investment opportunities.
Research ideas are paired with disciplined portfolio construction in a test ‘lab’ environment where the feasibility and robustness of any solution are vetted prior to seeding. Since disciplined portfolio construction is the cornerstone of institutional money management, the team continually strives to incorporate leading portfolio management tools and analytics into its decision making processes.
The team’s objective is to provide a variety of diversified long-term investment solutions designed for clients looking to fulfil either target date or target risk mandates. Its approach combines traditional and alternative beta sources using stochastic modeling and modern portfolio theory techniques in order to match portfolio characteristics to age-appropriate or risk-tolerance levels.
In order to gain exposure to capital markets, the team utilises a broad range of quantitative and fundamental Pyramis portfolio managers that have historically provided it with low or uncorrelated sources of alpha.
Pyramis’ goal is to provide a suite of cross-asset or multi-asset class solutions that leverage the team’s expertise in top-down asset allocation research and portfolio management. The foundation of our investment process is built on macro-economic and quantitative models that identify trends using valuation, sentiment and cyclical indicators across all public markets.
Model output, supplemented with insights provided by the team’s strategists, other enterprise wide asset allocation teams, fundamental and quantitative bottom up research analysts and portfolio managers, ensures adequate portfolio positioning that is aligned with the intermediate capital market assumptions.
Pyramis offers a spectrum of fundamental and quantitative long/short and equity market neutral strategies designed to have little or no correlation with the financial markets. The objective is to efficiently combine selected strategies into a low volatility absolute return strategy.
This solution is intended for clients that do not have resources required for selection, oversight and due diligence processes required for fund of fund-type investing, yet are seeking exposure to an alternative strategy with well diversified sources of alpha.
The objective is to serve clients seeking non-standardised investment mandates, such as LDI and portable-alpha programs.
