Our Investment Committee
Working with Avallis Group bring with it several key benefits that differentiate us from the traditional private banks and investment houses. Some key advantages include:
Independent and objective
Independent and objective investment recommendations based on the client’s investment needs and requirements articulated through an investment policy statement. Recommendations are not driven by revenue considerations and promotion of in-house products which can lead to conflicts of interest.
A structured process
A structured and disciplined investment management process that incorporates the best of institutional investment decision-making and is made accessible to individual investors. Portfolios are constructed based on the principles of diversification, optimized based on risk-adjusted returns. The value we add is in the investment thesis, rationale, recommendations. The is reflected in the tactical asset allocation decisions and a proprietary fund selection methodology.
Informed methods
As a group we evaluate a wide range of investment ideas and opportunities daily, sourced from multiple financial institutions globally, and consider only the best ideas. On an average day, we receive dozens of investment ideas from around the world and filter out only the best ideas for that day for clients.
