What is Multi-Management?
We are acknowledged as the pioneer and architect of the specialist multi-management
methodology in South Africa. To us, multi-manager management is the natural
extension of how any investment that needs to provide a targeted, risk-controlled
outcome within a specified timeframe must be managed. As such, Advantage’s
multi-manager solutions provide a distinctly different value proposition
to traditional consulting or asset management solutions.
- As in consulting, our starting focus is to determine what solution
best addresses the specific funding requirements of a fund or investor
given their time horizon and risk budget
- Because we believe this solution must be robust to all phases of
the market or asset class cycle, we employ a strategy that integrates
multiple asset classes, multiple investment philosophies, multiple
market sectors and styles, and multiple managers who represent the
best skills in their specific areas of specialisation
- Finally, we go beyond traditional asset management by providing the
on-going implementation of this solution in the most cost-effective
and transparent process possible. As such, we provide a solution that
is designed to add value at each level in the investment process:
- The optimal blend of asset classes
- The on-going asset allocation decision
- The diversification of alpha-generating investment strategies
that target each phase of the market´s cycle
- The identification and on-going management of the best managers
for each of these specialist strategies
- The selection of the best securities in each segment of the market
- And the management of risk at each of these levels.
