Our investment thinking is based on the continuing belief that investing in equity markets will produce the best long term returns. However, this long-term return will be affected by periods of short-term volatility which may entail periods of negative return.
Many private investors, especially over the past few years, have become increasingly uncomfortable with the risk (or volatility) inherent in a significant exposure to equities and have indicated that they are prepared to accept a slightly lower long-term return on the understanding that they are exposed to less risk of negative short-term returns.
Based on this understanding, we believe that by using modern risk management techniques and by investing in a diversified and actively managed portfolio of equities, bonds and non-correlated assets such as absolute return and hedge funds, we can produce risk adjusted returns that meet our clients' return aspirations.
Asset allocation and risk management, therefore, lie at the core of Thurleigh's investment philosophy.
