3.1 Our Investment Philosophy
We believe that an actively managed, globally allocated, multi-asset portfolio, comprised of low-cost Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), with diversified holdings in equity, bond, commodity and property markets, is statistically more likely to outperform a traditional active manager.
Much research has demonstrated that only a small minority of traditional active fund managers beat their respective indices over any significant period. Two causes are higher management fees, and the considerable dealing costs required to actively trade hundreds, or sometimes thousands, of individual equity, bond, commodity or property positions.
However, the biggest challenge to overcome is the statistical phenomenon of “positive skewness”. This is the fact that over the last 90 years, the majority of the returns made by an index have been generated by only a small proportion of the stocks in that index. In other words, while a few stocks beat the wider index, the majority usually underperform, so most managers own mainly losing stocks.
3.2 Portfolio Construction
We believe the best risk adjusted returns can be derived from actively managing a basket of index or tracker holdings, including smart beta products that combine active optimisation techniques with systematic core strategies. Research, monitoring and analysis is carried out by our investment team on a daily, weekly and monthly basis, with the objective of continually improving the effectiveness of every ACUMEN Portfolio. The ACUMEN Portfolios form the building blocks for the model portfolios managed by Tavistock Wealth (Tavistock PROFILES).
Multiple layers of diversification within and between asset classes are designed to mitigate risk. Each regional asset class is optimised separately into a sub-portfolio, and then aggregated into a multi-asset portfolio that targets a level of risk consistent with the investment objectives of each ACUMEN Portfolio.
Each ACUMEN Portfolio is typically diversified across approximately 30+ ETFs, 8 primary asset classes, 98 countries and over 18,500 underlying positions. In another break with tradition, over 85% of the holdings within each ACUMEN Portfolio are hedged back to the investing currency, be that the pound sterling, the euro or the US dollar.

Each ACUMEN Portfolio is optimised using Tavistock’s Backward Induction process at a regional asset class, asset class and portfolio level. On average, twenty-two separate optimisations are required to finalise each portfolio of holdings. The process analyses both historical and five-year rolling forecasted data for asset class returns and volatility. The output of this analysis is an ACUMEN Portfolio with the following structure:
3.5 Diversification
Every portfolio is constructed with these advanced, quantitative, fund management techniques and has exposure to the equity and debt securities of thousands of companies internationally. In our view, the resulting ACUMEN Portfolios are amongst the most diversified multi-asset portfolios in the world.
The final portfolio is a blend of the analyses run over the backward and forward looking time frames. The investment team use internal systems such as Thomson Reuters Eikon, Lipper for Fund Management, Datastream and AlternativeSoft. The same set of portfolio constraints and investment guidelines are also given to the quantitative analysis team at iShares (BlackRock) and they separately run a multi-step optimisation utilising their proprietary risk system, known as Aladdin. This vital element of our investment process independently validates the work done internally and helps distil any further improvement. Risk in the portfolios is monitored daily and the portfolios are typically rebalanced and recalibrated on a quarterly basis.

6.1 Currency HedgingTavistock Wealth believes in hedging the overseas currency exposure within our ACUMEN Portfolios. This brings a number of advantages to both clients and advisers.
Currency hedging ensures that the asset allocation is the driver of portfolio returns, rather than currency moves. It also ensures the projected volatility of a portfolio is accurate at all times. Crucially for an adviser, this means the level of volatility the client is being exposed to is appropriate at all times.
Client portfolios benefit significantly from the insurance resulting from currency hedging, as they are unlikely to become misaligned with their risk appetite. The ACUMEN Portfolios hedge at least 85% of all non-UK exposure back to sterling.
An example of an UNHEDGED investment would work as follows. You hold an investment in an American stock market such as the S&P 500. The investment you make, as a UK investor, would be in GBP. However, the underlying investments to which you have exposure are held in USD. Over a 12 month period the S&P returns +5%. You have therefore made +5% in USD terms. However, the return you actually receive is not only based on what the S&P 500 has done. Crucially, it also depends on what the currency movement has been between GBP and USD over that same 12-month period. If the GBP has appreciated by +10% vs the USD over the period (and last year it appreciated by +8.5% between 10 April and 19 June), then even though the return of the S&P 500 was +5%, the overall return of the S&P 500 investment in your portfolio would be -4.55%.
Unhedged investments expose clients to significantly increased risk because their investments are affected by market moves that are not part of their intended strategy. As illustrated above, the investment is the American stock market – an equity investment. However, the investor is actually exposed to the equity market AND the currency market. The currency market is one of the most volatile of all financial markets and we believe care should be taken to minimise exposure to this risk wherever possible. A portfolio of hedged investments costs more than a portfolio of unhedged investments but the investor is much more protected in terms of both investment strategy and volatility (risk). The adviser is also protected in terms of the suitability of the investment recommendations they make.

PORTFOLIOS?
6.2 Transparency of chargesTavistock Wealth believe in operating a transparent pricing structure for the ACUMEN Portfolios. The industry practice is to quote an Ongoing Charges Figure (OCF) however, crucially, an OCF does not need to disclose any ‘variable’ costs such as the cost of trading a portfolio. Therefore, for a portfolio which is actively managed, clients may often see an OCF in the region of 1.00%, however in reality that same portfolio may incur further trading costs of approximately 1.50% a year. This means that fund may need to overcome a 2.50%1 cost hurdle each year before a client makes any money. For further information please visit our blog page - (http://blog.tavistockwealth.com/).Tavistock Wealth has identified the most cost and tax efficient method of building the ACUMEN Portfolios. This provides clients with efficient access to a robust asset allocation which will not expose them to significant ‘hidden’ costs. Further information on the ACUMEN Portfolios can be found in section 7.0.
6.3 ALADDINTavistock Wealth, through our strategic relationship with BlackRock, is granted access to BlackRock’s proprietary risk management system - Aladdin.Aladdin is responsible for managing over 33,000 portfolios globally, catering for $17 trillion of client portfolio assets every minute.Optimising the ACUMEN Portfolios through Aladdin enables Tavistock Wealth to offer our clients access to institutional quality portfolio management. It also enables Tavistock Wealth to leverage off the 1,000+ members of the BlackRock risk team.
6.4 White-Labelled DFM OfferingTavistock Wealth can offer IFA firms a white-labelled DFM offering on a number of different platforms. This option is available to IFAs who are looking to improve their investment offering and revolutionise their business.By entering into a working relationship with Tavistock Wealth, IFAs are able to alleviate themselves of the administrative burden of running advisory models whilst simultaneously mitigating the compliance risk and TCF implications of orchestrating portfolio re-balances on an advisory basis. Crucially this also enables the IFA to free up more time to write new business and subsequently increase their valuation.The underlying model portfolios would be run centrally by Tavistock Wealth with constant monitoring of all holdings and the ability to implement portfolio changes instantly. Additional benefits such as currency hedging, transparency of charges and access to the market-leading ALADDIN risk management system would also be available to the IFA.Marketing literature as well as monthly factsheets and ad-hoc research can all be produced in the IFAs own branding, as the IFA transforms their practice from an advisory business into a modern-day wealth manager.

Portfolio ConstructionThe ACUMEN Portfolios are highly sophisticated baskets of ETFs containing several thousand underlying securities. Multiple layers of diversification within and between asset classes are key to the portfolio construction process and are designed to mitigate risk. Each regional asset class is optimised separately into a sub-portfolio, and then aggregated into a multi-asset portfolio that targets a level of risk that is consistent with the investment objectives of the ACUMEN Portfolios.ACUMEN FeaturesThe ACUMEN Portfolios are highly diversified, sophisticated, multi-asset global portfolios comprised of ETFs. Each portfolio is optimised utilising the Backward Induction optimisation process at a regional asset class level, asset class level and fund level. On average, there are twenty-two separate optimisations that are run to reach a final portfolio of holdings. The process looks at both historical and five-year rolling forecasted data for asset class returns and volatility. The final portfolio is blend of the analysis run over the backward and forward looking time frames. All the work is conducted by the investment team utilising internal systems such as Thomson Reuters Eikon, Lipper for Investment Management, Datastream and AlternativeSoft. The same set of portfolio constraints and investment guidelines are also given to the quantitative analysis team at iShares (BlackRock) and they separately run a multi-step optimisation utilising their proprietary risk system known as Aladdin. This is a very important part of our investment process as it seeks to independently validate the work done internally by the investment team.ACUMEN ProtectionWith the ACUMEN Protection Portfolios, you can protect a significant amount of your initial investment, as well as protect a substantial amount of any potential future profits. This is achieved through PROTECTED INVESTING - a mechanism that tracks the growth of the portfolio and locks in a percentage of any growth each time the portfolio reaches a new high.

Market-leading range of ETFs enables Tavistock Wealth to implement our unique asset allocation. Our asset allocation is the result of extensive analysis focusing on both backward looking data and forward looking forecasts.It is not possible to implement our asset allocation with any other ETF provider owing to the lack of choice at the ETF level.
Provides clients with the opportunity to outperform active managers who must try and ‘time the market’ consistently and incur potentially prohibitive trading costs in attempting to do so. There is overwhelming research to suggest that as the time frame increases, less active managers are able to outperform.
ACUMEN Portfolios aim to provide clients (of a given risk profile) access to an asset allocation which can diversify away losses and remain fully invested so that there is no need to try and predict the future of financial markets. ACUMEN Portfolios are therefore able to benefit from a lower cost base (significantly lower trading costs) and by removing the need to ‘time the markets’.
Tavistock Wealth work with BlackRock to ensure the ACUMEN Portfolios perform within strict volatility bands at all times.
