Managed by Portfolio Optimisation · Quantitative Trading →
This strategy uses Hierarchical Cluster construction for assets with similar behaviour and allocates inter-cluster weights using Risk Parity, so that each cluster contributes the same amount of risk to the overall portfolio. Fully systematic, with no discretionary calls.
The intra-cluster weight distribution is also constructed with Risk Parity. At the beginning of each quarter, weights are rebalanced to assert possible regime changes, enforcing a strategy that minimises tail risk and prioritises robustness. The asset universe is a diversified set of instruments: commodities (metals, energy and agricultural products), S&P 500 equities, and the eight cryptocurrencies with the largest market capitalisation. Run by the Portfolio Optimisation team through the department's paper-trading pipeline.
Managed by Guardian Fund Team · Asset Management →
The Guardian Portfolio is structurally designed with a strict capital preservation mandate and steady income generation, targeting an annual stable return of 3% to 5%. The investment thesis centres on a robust, risk-averse allocation predominantly in fixed-income securities, plus controlled exposure to blue-chip equities to edge the market. The typical investor profile is highly conservative: wealth protection, steady income and low volatility over aggressive capital appreciation.
The benchmark is an 80/20 composite: the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index represents a broad, stable base of global investment-grade fixed-income debt, serving as the standard for capital protection, while the MSCI World Index captures developed-market equity performance and provides the controlled equity edge that complements the fixed-income core. Every position enters through the fund team's process: written thesis, debate, allocation sized to the mandate.
Managed by MarketPlus Fund Team · Asset Management →
The Market+ Portfolio is structurally designed as a balanced and highly diversified fund, aiming to capture steady, long-term capital appreciation. Targeting an annualised return of ≥9%, the strategy uses a dynamic allocation across thematic equity ETFs, high-quality individual stocks, gold and fixed-income securities, for comprehensive market exposure where engineered diversification is intended to deliver superior, more stable performance over the cycle.
Market+ focuses on maximising long-term capital growth through a diversified allocation across gold, bonds, thematic ETFs and high-quality individual equities. The absolute performance target is an annualised return of ≥9%, with a relative mandate to consistently outperform the MSCI ACWI. Every position enters through the fund team's process: written thesis, debate, allocation sized to the mandate.
Managed by Horizon Fund Team · Asset Management →
The Horizon Portfolio is a high-conviction growth vehicle, seeking to maximise long-term capital appreciation through concentrated exposure to global equities across technology, healthcare, critical materials and the energy transition. The fund targets an annualised return of ≥15–20% over the cycle, with an investment horizon of 3 to 5 years per position, for aggressively growth-oriented investors with high tolerance for volatility and an unwavering belief in active stock selection.
Horizon carries no obligation to hold ETFs or fixed income: every position must earn its place through a thesis. The benchmark is a 70/30 composite (70% MSCI World / 30% MSCI Emerging Markets), reflecting the fund's structural bias towards high-growth economies. Outperforming this blended benchmark on a risk-adjusted basis over a full market cycle is the primary objective, achieved through conviction, not diversification.
