RIGOUR
Our Mauritius-based team is knowledgeable, rigorous and consistent in their analysis, dealing with investment managers worldwide.
Our approach
1. Market screening
We conduct a comprehensive market analysis drawing on a wide range of sources, including fund managers, brokers, intermediaries and other investors. The results are tracked, monitored and updated in a proprietary fund database. This produces a market overview of all the relevant segments and regions. The overview is reviewed on a regular basis and serves as the foundation for the portfolio selection and ranking in the next phase.
2. Pre-construction
Based on the client’s investment objective, we identify fund managers with similar investment philosophies. The investment team discusses every allocation and gives a provisional ranking based on these discussions and assessment. The aim is to identify attractive opportunities at an early stage and to keep refining the portfolio allocation.
3. Intensive due diligence
The pre-construction process is followed by a thorough performance and manager review, which consists of extensive number crunching and several consultations with the fund managers. The investment strategies, track ‘records’ and terms are all analysed in detail, in accordance with a benchmarking of criteria, proprietary to Strategia.
4. Investment decisions
The main results of the due diligence are summarised in an investment proposal. This is subject to a final discussion with the investment team and members of the investment committee.
5. Monitoring and relationship-building
For the duration of the investment, the strategy is monitored and tracked with regular transparent reporting provided to you and the investment committee. The investment process continues well after the investment decision itself.
The leadership team
We offer tailor-made solutions to suit your needs. With regular communication and feedback, we establish a long-term and trusting relationship with each client.
