RETURNS MATTER, BUT BEHAVIOUR MATTERS MORE

investor behaviour, rather than against it.

OUR CORE BELIEFS
Returns matter, but behaviour matters more.
Diversify by underlying risk factor, not asset class
Price drives long-term returns
Diversify when it makes sense, not merely for the sake of it
Asset allocation is the most effective tool for managing risk
Build robust rather than optimal portfolios
Asset class risks are driven by their underlying risk factors
OUR SOLUTIONS
RISK DEFINED MANAGED PORTFOLIOS
Innova’s ‘Risk-Defined’ managed portfolios focus on ensuring that portfolio risk is managed within very specific limits. This is achieved through the application of Innova’s proprietary risk allocation process within a relatively unconstrained asset allocation framework. We use various risk measures as the benchmarks for these portfolios and then allow the asset allocation to vary according to the level of risk inherent in each asset class.
TRADITIONAL MANAGED PORTFOLIOS
Innova’s traditional portfolios utilise a Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) framework in conjunction with Innova’s proprietary portfolio construction and investment selection process to deliver sustainable real returns over time. Whilst, the portfolios are designed with a ‘traditional’ advice framework in mind, they are still tightly controlled in terms of risk. Innova’s Traditional Portfolios are offered in five investment profiles across the risk/return spectrum – Conservative, Moderately Conservative, Balanced, Growth, and High Growth.
