Case study examples of how we partner with Consultants
Constructing portfolios based on the long-term trends
Thematic investing, is still somewhat an unchartered territory for many, but the confluence of these global megatrends is prompting structural shifts in many industries.
We partnered with a global investment consultant firm on idea generation and constructing multi-theme portfolios which integrated biodiversity, climate change and circular economy themes. These conversations range from portfolio construction and analytics to technology usage and reporting. We held roundtables with Research Consultants, teach-ins with Field Consultants and B2B conversations with senior leaders, portfolio managers and CIOs, to capture the most valuable insights for our analysis.
Developing targeted strategies
Diversified Private Debt (DPD) was developed in partnership with UK investment consultants. Specifically created for UK pension schemes to address their needs for income and diversification, across a variety of global private debt markets.
The strategy provides exposure to a diversified mix of standalone, scaled private debt strategies, through a single solution. This simplified governance structure combines bottom-up selection with top-down strategy allocation and the flexibility to capitalise on market dynamics.

Changes in the rates of exchange between currencies may cause the value of investments to diminish or increase. Fluctuation may be particularly marked in the case of a higher volatility fund and the value of an investment may fall suddenly and substantially. Levels and basis of taxation may change from time to time.
