The non-profit fiduciaries' guide
Our non-profit digital guide is designed to provide practical advice, planning tools and best practice information to help you successfully fulfill your non-profit fiduciary responsibilities.
Russell Investments' multi-asset approach is core to what we deliver to our OCIO clients.
Multi-asset investing involves incorporating exposures to a globally diverse mix of asset classes and dynamically managing those exposures to capture short-term market opportunities and mitigate risks. We integrate this approach into every outsourced CIO solution we build for our clients.
The pies below illustrate a typical approach and Russell Investments' multi-asset approach. We believe this is what makes us a best-in-class solution, a cut above the rest.
For illustrative purposes only.
The "typical" portfolio shown is constructed using sleeves for individual asset classes combined with an additional tactical sleeve bolted onto the portfolio. In this type of portfolio construction, each sleeve is managed separately, and the tactical sleeve is applied without considering the managers' current position and risk budget in each asset class sleeve.
In Russell Investments' multi-asset approach shown, the decision about what tactical shifts to make is informed by the underlying holdings of the managers and strategies, plus the risk budget of the total portfolio and the shifts in the market. This approach gives our portfolio managers greater flexibility to adapt the portfolio to short-term market shifts to help retain long-term return potential.
This approach requires the skills of a team of full-time, dedicated and experienced investment professionals, and this capability is built into every OCIO solution we offer to our clients.
