Technical Investment Implementation
My investment approach combines practical experience in portfolio construction with deep understanding of implementation challenges that determine real-world outcomes. This expertise spans asset allocation methodology, manager selection frameworks, and the operational realities of translating strategy into portfolio performance.
Asset Allocation & Portfolio Construction
Experience implementing strategic and tactical asset allocation across diverse institutional requirements, from liability-driven approaches to total return strategies. Understanding of how different allocation methodologies perform under varying market conditions, funding constraints, and governance structures.
Multi-Asset Integration Challenges

Correlation Management: Understanding how asset class relationships change under stress and designing portfolios that maintain diversification when needed most
-
Liquidity Optimization: Balancing illiquid return premiums with operational cash flow requirements and rebalancing flexibility
-
Currency and Hedging: Managing currency exposures across global portfolios while maintaining cost efficiency
-
Transition Management: Minimizing implementation costs and timing risks during portfolio changes
Manager Selection & Due Diligence
