Our LED framework
We take a different approach to building portfolios. Unlike many other fund managers, we don’t diversify our portfolios in terms of whether they are stocks, property, government or corporate bonds, or by where investments are listed. Instead, we categorise our holdings according to our LED framework:
Liquidity
Equity-type risk
Stocks and all assets that tend to rise and fall with stock markets during times of stress, this includes much of the corporate bond market.
Diversifiers
Assets that behave differently to stock markets during stressed periods.
We do this because we believe it’s the best way to ensure portfolio diversification works when you need it most – during a stock market slump. By holding progressively more Equity-type risk depending on each fund’s risk tolerance, our portfolios can offer greater returns, albeit along with greater risk, or volatility.
