Investment Strategy Q&A


What is driving new opportunity in this space?
Global policy changes, stimulus spending, subsidy programs, legislation emissions and fuel restrictions are being implemented in developed and developing countries alike, opening new opportunities for both emerging energy and cleaner forms of traditional energy. Cash-flow rich integrated energy companies, sovereign wealth funds, pension funds, utilities and technology companies worldwide are spending vast amounts of money in the energy, commodity and natural resources sectors right now.

What first drew you to this strategy?


Every person needs the vital resources of energy, water and food. The stress on these assets due to population growth, industrialization and finite / declining resources has created a MUST outcome for the planet. At the same time, every developed country in the world is focused on how to provide energy and food security for its people. Every major corporation in the world is focused on the business opportunity and how to be a part of it. We recognize that these sectors represent the mega macro trends for the next decades and beyond.

How do you identify opportunities?


Our investment direction is primarily driven by our extensive macro research. We focus on large, long term profit opportunities brought about by increasing demand for energy and commodities, fuelled by increasing population and accelerated industrialization of emerging economies. We track and capitalize on investment themes brought about by global policy shifts, legislation and stimulus. We closely monitor the flow of capital into these sectors.

Describe your typical allocation strategy.


Our portfolios are weighted accordingly across our three primary sectors: Equity sensitive strategies (predominantly long-biased): clean energy, water, agriculture Commodity sensitive strategies (demand and policy sensitive): energy, natural resources and carbon & emissions Alpha/Trend sensitive strategies (showing negative bear market correlation to equity sensitive strategies): systematic traders, uncorrelated hedges, cash and equivalents.

How do you determine sector weights and allocation sizes?


We allocate capital to sectors that show the most potential, while taking profits or reducing allocations to sectors that have already experienced significant outperformance. The size of an allocation is impacted by the underlying managers ability to deploy capital profitably, manage risk and downside volatility. If our research indicates uncertain times ahead for a particular sector, we proactively limit our exposure, and redistribute capital to sectors that show more promise. Sector allocations and weightings are also limited by our risk management policies. Positions are sized according to expected and realized volatility.
