OUR STRATEGY UNPACKED

 

​We don’t believe that investment performance relative to a benchmark index or peer group is relevant to a client’s requirements or objectives. Losing less money than an index or a peer is not a meaningful measure of success. We understand that clients have return targets while needing to protect capital. Our portfolios are designed to do both.

By understanding a client’s requirements, we construct portfolios with diversified asset allocation and innovative structures to achieve the required return with a high level of conviction.

QUANTITATIVE PROCESS

 

We use quantitative techniques and processes to arrive at all investment decisions. This systematic approach is the genetic code that underpins our entire investment philosophy and process. We believe it is the only way to produce consistent returns and avoid human emotion or bias in decision-making.

​The primary driver of investment performance is asset allocation and meaningful diversification. Our portfolios are constructed in risk space with dynamic asset allocation and efficient underlying building blocks for each asset class. We do not stock-pick, speculate or attempt to time the markets. We are active asset allocators investing passively into asset classes.

​TRADITIONAL ASSET CLASSES, TRADITIONAL RISK

 

​Traditional asset classes such as equities, bonds and property are fundamental building blocks for multi-asset portfolios. However, they introduce risk and a high level of uncertainty. Traditional portfolio construction techniques have also disappointed – a fresh approach is urgently needed.

​Systematic factors driving the Kenyan equity and bond markets can result in unacceptable levels of risk. Our goal is to increase the certainty of investment outcomes without compromising expected return. We achieve this by diversifying beyond local assets and using innovative structures for attractive upside potential while simultaneously protecting capital.

​Globetec does not complain about the markets or play the blame game. We are paid to achieve an outcome.
