Risk management
Risk Management
As a firm, one of London & Capital’s key values and priorities is precise and vigilant risk management, which is an integral element of our portfolio construction process. Developing investment strategies that reflect appropriate levels of risk for our clients’ particular circumstances and objectives is central to our investment process. Careful risk management and an emphasis on wealth preservation are cornerstones of our client offering. We quantify risks both at the overall portfolio level and for each underlying investment. When it comes to Actively Managed Funds, sophisticated risk management techniques are used by our investment team, which ultimately allow us to optimise risk-adjusted returns, reduce correlation with overall market indices, and reduce downside deviation. This careful approach to risk management helped us to navigate the financial crisis and to emerge stronger.
Risk Budgeting
Our risk management approach is based on the idea of risk budgeting. Risk budgeting provides a framework for deciding how active risk (a measure of the likely future volatility in the return of a portfolio) should be distributed over a set of predefined decision fields. Integrated into the investment process, risk budgeting allows Portfolio Managers to test the quality of their investment decisions and give them the opportunity to allocate active risk more efficiently.
