ASSET ALLOCATION

Together with the strategic planning, the dynamic allocation of asset classes is a key success factor for institutional investments. To optimize the asset allocation over time, we adjust the portfolio structure for market cycles using a rule based, risk-controlled management approach within the context of our dynamic asset allocation strategy.

Our process is structured, transparent and focused on the essentials. It is our intention to not only develop innovative strategies, but also to guarantee their best possible implementation. This ensures that the strategy performance indeed benefits our clients' portfolios.

The team of alpha portfolio advisors offers you an excellent scientific and mathematical skillset combined with many years of practical experience in institutional asset management.

ALPHAPORT® STRATEGY

In 2001 we developed the alphaport® strategy, commonly referred to in literature as „Best of Two Strategy“, and refined it ever since. Starting in 2003 we have been integrating this dynamic strategy very successfully into the asset allocation of our institutional clients.

The alphaport® strategy addresses the central decision of asset allocation: the level of equity holdings over time. Our approach is systematic and does not rely on forecasts.

Risk management, in particular the avoidance of substantial losses and the preservation of the risk budget, constitutes the core of the strategy. At the same time, the alphaport® strategy combines pro-cyclical and counter-cyclical elements, thereby offering an excellent return potential.

As such, the strategy contributes significantly to the sustainable achievement of individual investment objectives.
