Sustaining investment success requires good strategy, risk management, and continuous rigorous evaluation.
Careful monitoring, objective measurements and clear communication of portfolio characteristics and risk exposures and well designed investment processes that are diligently followed are essential to an effective investment program. Also critical is the careful monitoring of the shifts in macro landscape, and understanding how potential scenarios might affect both the investment portfolio as well as the investor’s general balance sheet.
All this is common sense in the institutional world; In the private wealth segment, not so much. Many, even large sophisticated private groups appreciate the importance of systematically evaluating the various quantities and qualities that characterize their investment portfolios but fail to do so appropriately.
Day-to-day distractions; the complexity and abstraction of the work; not grasping the crucial role such work plays in sustaining investment performance results in the mid and long term; a decade of cheap money and ever-rising markets rewarding complacency: Whatever the impediments, correct portfolio management practices are fundamental to sustained investment returns.
