AIPM Cautious Alpha

Designed to 
beat inflation

The deer relies on instinct: ears turning before the eyes do, muscles loaded and ready, gone in the instant a threat becomes real.


Like the deer, Cautious Alpha stays alert rather than static. Diversified globally and managed proactively, its design aims to keep one step ahead of inflation's onward march.

A note from Tony

"Cautious Alpha develops returns from a broader set of economic drivers than just equities or bonds. 

We have carefully developed a number of tailored sub-portfolio baskets designed to deliver low correlations from each other, and low volatility when combined, to form Cautious Alpha."

Our multi-basket approach

Our multi-basket approach supports clients who either have low risk tolerance or require capital preservation. Each of our six baskets performs differently in a given market condition. When blended, low volatility results.

Cautious growth 

Typically accounting for the largest share of assets, this is the engine of the portfolio. It consists of carefully managed multi-asset funds focused on protecting capital.

Growth equity

Modest exposure to global equity markets, gained via a combination of low-cost index-tracking funds and high-quality actively managed holdings, helps to boost returns.

Inflation protection

Contains assets which tend to benefit from an inflationary environment, such as gold and other commodities.

Alpha strategies

Composed of vehicles which seek to make money regardless of the direction of markets using strategies including market neutral or long/short.

Flexible bonds

Made up of fixed income funds whose managers have the authority and ability to flex their portfolios depending on macro conditions.

Trend followers

Quantitative investment strategies which look to pick up on momentum in different asset classes and establish positions accordingly.

Our principles in action

We’ve lived and breathed investment research since 2009. Since then, we’ve shaped our investment strategies through enduring truths about how markets tick. Cautious Alpha is no exception.

Global

Unrestrained by borders, we consider a wide range of investment opportunities from around the world. This includes domestic stocks, alongside equity from emerging markets and around the world.
