Elstree's investment process is a 5 step process with a risk management overlay.
In summary we;
- Value each security based on our assessment of the structure of each security after consideration of what we think the issuer is most likely to do
- Consider the supply factors that are most likely to impact security valuations both now and in the future
- Consider demand factors that are most likely to impact security valuations both now and in the future
- Ensure that the credit risk of each security is adequately reflected in the price of that security
- Reduce risk by creating diversified portfolios with correlation benefits
Risk Management
Risk management is an ongoing process and involves the monitoring and assessment of both market conditions and security specific events.
We monitor risk on a continual basis and will change the risk characteristics of the portfolio such that it is consistent with our view.
Typically our portfolios have operated with less risk than the sector. This is because our portfolios contain a greater concentration of securities that consistently display a low degree of correlation to one another.
We use advanced risk management techniques to measure the total risk of the portfolio as well as the various component risk.
