Performance and Characteristics

Understanding Portfolio Construction & Monitoring

What we look for...

  • Below-average fees
  • Above average reward/risk characteristics such as Sharpe ratio and performance relative to peers
  • Manager tenure is important
  • Asset size is important – we don’t want to be a large enough fraction of the fund’s total assets under management that we are unable to liquidate if the need arises.
  • Minimal style drift – when we invest in a large cap growth fund we don’t want to discover several months later that its portfolio has changed so that now it is acting like a mid cap value fund.
