Curated Managed Portfolios

Acumen Investors’ Curated Managed Portfolios
Everyday investors of all risk appetites and sophistication (including superannuation and SMSFs) are presented with choices of Australian-shares only or multi-asset (globally diversified, various asset class) portfolios.

Our Investment Philosophy
We undertake the Total Portfolio active management Approach, which is a dynamic asset allocation strategy that focuses on achieving the mandated investment objectives rather than seeking to value-add above an asset benchmark. This approach promotes a holistic capital allocation strategy across the entire investment universe, offering genuine asset diversification and embraces factors beyond income, growth and the more rigidly-defined strategic asset allocation. This dynamic approach continuously assesses market developments, allows for flexibility in reacting to unpredictability of markets and nimble decision making in adjusting exposures to capitalise on contemporary themes for higher potential risk-adjusted returns or risk-mitigating benefits rather than focusing on specific asset classes, sectors or regions.

How are portfolios managed?
The portfolios are managed by an Investment Committee that consist of professionals with deep direct equities and derivatives expertise and institutional funds management capability. Each of the committee members has more than two decades of track record in the use of a robust and rigorous systematic process of combining quantitative financial modelling with qualitative analysis.

What is the investment process
The investment process blends both econometric and stock statistical analysis with traditional fundamental analysis, incorporating some of the industry's top ranked institutional research. The quantitative investment process uses a number of factors to screen the stock universe and then optimises the risk/return ratio for portfolios with the aim of achieving alpha (excess returns). A qualitative lens (including global trend and macro risk factors) is then applied before final portfolio decisions are made. This process repeats with the quantitative models being continuously adjusted for prevailing stock and market conditions and monitored for short and long term signals for the dynamic and active management of portfolios.
