USING A MULTI-ASSET STRATEGY WITHIN A BROADER PORTFOLIOOCTOBER 2019
• Multi-asset strategies have gained in popularity but not all strategies have proven they can meet their target returns over extended periods, including through periods of extreme market volatility
• The insight broad opportunities strategy is able to dynamically allocate across a broad range of beta and alpha strategies so as to have greater flexibility under various market conditions
• The strategy has historically generated returns comparable with global equity markets but with significantly lower volatility
• When we analyse how this strategy could fit within adviser portfolios we can observe clear benefits across the three most commonly used portfolio frameworks
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
USING A MULTI-ASSET STRATEGY WITHIN A BROADER PORTFOLIO
1 While the Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund aims to deliver an absolute return above Australian inflation, it is not an inflation-hedged product and as such will not attempt to directly move in line with Australian inflation rates. 2 As at 30 June 2019. Gross returns. Strategy initiated 31 December 2004. The long-term track record of Insight’s broad opportunities strategy has a base currency of USD. This performance record has been adjusted by interest rate differentials to derive an AUD proxy. No currency adjustments have been made to the underlying investments.
MULTI-ASSET STRATEGIES WITH BROAD FREEDOMS PROVIDE THE FLEXIBILITY TO NAVIGATE EVER-CHANGING
MARKET CONDITIONS, BUT HOW IS THIS TO BE ACCOMMODATED WITHIN A BROADER PORTFOLIO? THIS
PAPER OBSERVES THE APPLICATION OF A MULTI-ASSET STRATEGY WITHIN SEVERAL COMMON PORTFOLIO
CONSTRUCTION FRAMEWORKS.
NOT ALL MULTI-ASSET STRATEGIES ARE THE SAME
In recent years, multi-asset strategies have become increasingly
popular. They typically seek to derive returns from multiple
investment sources, with the objective of delivering greater
diversification than more traditional investment strategies.
However, many of these offerings were released after the Global
Financial Crisis (GFC) as a response to demand from investors
seeking an inflation-plus objective that was less correlated to the
vagaries of investment markets.
Insight Investment took a leadership role in this sector with the
inception of its broad opportunities strategy in 2004. It remains
one of the few strategies in this sector to have been tested over
an extended period of extreme market conditions. To provide
investors access to this strategy in Australia, the Insight Diversified
Inflation Plus Fund (IDIPF) was launched in 2014. This fund is
managed by the same team and uses the same strategy, but
targets RBA CPI+5% over rolling 5 year periods1.

ACCESSING A BROAD OPPORTUNITY SET
When designing our strategy we wanted to access an opportunity
set broad enough to give us high levels of confidence that we could
deliver a smoother path towards our targeted returns, through a
wide range of market environments. A distinguishing feature of our
approach is that we access traditional market-based returns, as well
as a range of alternative strategies which are generally less
correlated with broad asset-class returns.
In order to be confident of delivering a targeted return through a
wide range of market environments while managing volatility, it is
important that a strategy is able to access the broadest possible
opportunity set. As market conditions change, the manager can
then allocate towards those assets or strategies that should be best
positioned to benefit from the investment environment.

BETA, ALPHA OR BOTH?
It is notable that challenging environments for traditional beta-
driven strategies (generally characterised by higher volatility)
tend to be more rewarding for strategies targeting alpha and
vice versa. This means there can be prolonged periods when
investors focused solely on either beta or alpha strategies
can face unfavourable market conditions. Many multi-asset
strategies tend to rely on either beta or alpha as their primary
source of returns.
At Insight, we believe that a fund or strategy should be able
to dynamically allocate between alpha and beta strategies,
depending on market conditions, utilising both in varying
proportions.
But even with this ability, timing when to reallocate is difficult.
Key to this decision is identifying shifts in the economic cycle and
market dynamics via careful analysis and modelling of data to help
form a view. Market pricing is also important. When volatility
changes, and with it the risk premium embedded in option prices,
the most attractive way in which to express a position may
change. During periods of high volatility, for example, reallocating
from a beta strategy towards an option-based strategy can
provide similar upside exposure, but can also build in an element
of capital protection.
This extends the potential for diversification and could provide
more consistent return generation over a typical economic or
market cycle.

A DYNAMIC ASSET ALLOCATION
In order to harness the potential of our broad investment universe
we have wide flexibility to vary levels of exposure to asset classes
and strategies. As an outcome-focused strategy, we do not follow
an asset-weighted benchmark index, and minimum exposures to
individual asset classes can be zero. The below chart
demonstrates the wide range of asset allocation moves between
‘growth’ assets (e.g. equities) and ‘defensive’ assets (e.g. fixed
income and cash) in the context of more traditional asset
definitions. For example, during the worst of the GFC period (2008)
the full range of defensive assets were actively utilised to mitigate
investment risk. Once the risk/reward profile moved in favour of
‘growth’ assets in early 2009, larger exposure was directed to
these assets.
DOES IT WORK?
Has the application of a broad opportunity set and dynamic asset
allocation been worthwhile? As can be seen below, the strategy
has been able to reduce large drawdowns for investors (relative to
other investment methodologies available) while delivering its
growth target.

Strategy initiated 31 December 2004. The long-term track record of Insight’s broad opportunities strategy has a base currency of USD. This performance record has been adjusted by interest rate differentials to derive an AUD proxy. No currency adjustments have been made to the underlying investments. Inflation represents RBA CPI (trimmed mean). Static asset allocation is based on a 60% global equities (MSCI World Index, net of withholding taxes, hedged into AUD) and 40% bonds (JP Morgan GBI index hedged into AUD) allocation.

HOW DOES IT FIT WITHIN ADVISER PORTFOLIO CONSTRUCTION?
So how could the Insight broad opportunities strategy, with
such broad freedoms, fit within broader portfolio construction
frameworks?
In our discussions with financial advisers and consultants, we have
identified a number of portfolio construction models commonly
used by financial advisers. The following is not an exhaustive
list, but aims to represent several frameworks that have been
observed in practice. We also note that the below frameworks
are not necessarily mutually exclusive:
STRATEGIC ASSET ALLOCATION
1Strategic asset allocation (SAA) is perhaps one of the most common forms of portfolio construction and involves long-term
allocations to particular asset classes, based on the historical risk/reward profile of each asset class. The weighting to each major
asset class is then adjusted to match a particular investor risk profile. Most commonly manifest in traditional ‘balanced’ or
‘diversified’ funds, SAA is also applied by some financial advisers as part of their governance framework for portfolio construction.

Strategic asset allocation
2
Core/satellite

Buckets strategy
Perhaps the most traditional form of
portfolio construction. Allocation and
regular rebalancing of exposure to major
asset sectors to reflect a given risk profile.
Passive/low-cost strategies for market-beta
exposure as the ‘core’, with specialist funds
utilised to target potential sources of alpha
and diversification.
Where funds for the purpose of short to
medium-term living expenses are separated
from funds to be invested for the medium to
longer term. Cash and term deposits are
typically used for living expenses, with the
use of diversified funds or equity funds to
meet individual client risk and time horizon
profiles for investment purposes.
The potential benefit of a ‘smoother return path’ or ‘better
distribution of returns’ is, in our view, a worthwhile consideration
for a broader portfolio within an SAA regime.
To demonstrate this we observe the Insight broad opportunities
strategy (net of fees), a passive balanced fund (utilising SAA)
and a mix of both portfolios on a 50:50 basis, rebalanced quarterly.
The observation period is 31/12/2004 to 30/06/2019, as per Table 1.
During the stated period, the combination of both portfolios delivered
several positive outcomes. The mixed portfolio displayed a greater
return, lower standard deviation along with a substantially reduced
drawdown and recovery period through the GFC period than the
passive balanced fund. In this instance, the benefits of adding a
dynamic asset allocation capability to an SAA framework are evident.
One important question when adding a dynamically allocating
fund to a broader SAA governance framework is whether the
addition could trigger breaches of that framework. We examine
this by combining a 50% allocation to the Insight broad
opportunities strategy with a 50% allocation to a passive balanced
fund. Historically, even with a 50% allocation to the Insight broad
opportunities strategy the range of allocation between growth
and defensive assets would remain within a 30% to 70% range
(see Figure 6, the observation period is 31/12/2006 to 30/06/2019).
Clearly, for allocations below 50% the ranges would become
further compressed.

CORE/SATELLITE
2
The genesis of the core/satellite model was based around the notion of separating sources of market returns into beta (in this
context, the broader market risk/return profile) and alpha (in this context, potential outperformance above a benchmark or
diversification to the core). The concept also extends from risk budgeting to cost budgeting, with exposure to beta largely
executed via low cost passive funds or exchange-traded funds, with higher fees only accommodated within alpha exposures,
where the financial adviser believes the potential for diverse sources of returns justifies the higher cost. This approach is
utilised due to the perception of control over risk and fee budget for the adviser and their clients.
Insight’s broad opportunities strategy applies a similar philosophy in
focusing on directional and less-directional sources of returns. Cost
effectiveness and precision of implementation are always a focus.
In the directional component, the low cost and liquidity profile of
exchange-traded futures facilitates cost control and flexibility. In the
less-directional component, expertise and execution are critical to
maximising the possibility of alpha, but option strategies also enable
alternative ways to generate returns, some of which can be partially
self-funded under certain market conditions.
Adding alpha with lower volatility
Typical candidates for satellite components have historically been
small company funds, long/short equity funds and concentrated
equity funds along with several others. Below we have compiled a
small selection of well-known funds and compared their historical
risk/return profile. As is evident from Figure 7, Insight’s strategy
has added alpha above the ‘core’ passive Australian shares index
at a significantly lower level of volatility, during the period of
observation.

When observing Insight’s strategy compared to the ‘core’ in

which is to be expected given the diversification of the portfolio.
On this basis, some may consider Insight’s strategy as a satellite

STRATEGIES THAT ATTEMPT TO MITIGATE SEQUENCING RISKS (THE BUCKETS STRATEGY)
3Strategies that attempt to mitigate sequencing risk maintain separation between the investor’s short to medium-term expense
requirements and investible funds. The core philosophy is to maximise cash-flow certainty for investors and to mitigate the
possibility of having to draw down on assets in periods where they are falling in value.
Strategies following this approach allocate assets that are surplus
to the client’s short to medium-term expense requirements across
funds with asset allocations and objectives that match the risk
profile and investment time horizon of the investor. The options
here typically range from diversified funds with very conservative
asset allocation through to equity funds that hold a greater risk
profile and require a longer-term investment horizon.
Whilst equity funds may be appropriate, in practice investors’
circumstances may change, requiring an adjustment in the
split between expense allocation and investible assets. This in
turn triggers a partial or full redemption and, if coinciding with
a fall in markets, the investor’s circumstances may be further
exacerbated. As witnessed after the GFC period, it may take an
extended period for markets to recover from bouts of volatility.
The SAA model provides simplicity, but may limit the ability to
make adjustments to the risk profile of a portfolio in extreme
market circumstances.
We demonstrate this historically (see Figure 10), mapping the
performance of the Insight broad opportunities strategy (net of
fees) versus a passive balanced index fund (50:50 growth/defensive
profile) utilising an SAA framework and a Passive Australian Share
Fund. The overall long-term outcome is favourable due to its
smoother return path and may have further mitigated sequencing
risk by minimising the impact of extended market drawdowns.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
RISK DISCLOSURESPast performance is not indicative of future results. Investment in any strategy involves a risk of loss which may partly be due to exchange rate fluctuations.
The performance results shown, whether net or gross of investment management fees, reflect the reinvestment of dividends and/or income and other earnings. Any gross of fees performance does not include fees and charges and these can have a material detrimental effect on the performance of an investment.
Any target performance aims are not a guarantee, may not be achieved and a capital loss may occur. Strategies which have a higher performance aim generally take more risk to achieve this and so have a greater potential for the returns to be significantly different than expected.
Portfolio holdings are subject to change, for information only and are not investment recommendations.
ASSOCIATED INVESTMENT RISKSMulti-asset
Derivatives may be used to generate returns as well as to reduce costs and/or the overall risk of the portfolio. Using derivatives can involve a higher level of risk. A small movement in the price of an underlying investment may result in a disproportionately large movement in the price of the derivative investment.
Investments in bonds are affected by interest rates and inflation trends which may affect the value of the portfolio.
The investment manager may invest in instruments which can be difficult to sell when markets are stressed.
Property assets are inherently less liquid and more difficult to sell than other assets. The valuation of physical property is a matter of the valuer’s judgement rather than fact.
CONCLUSION
The Insight broad opportunities strategy, which can be accessed in
Australia via the Insight Diversified Inflation Plus Fund, has achieved
its objective over an extended time period, providing investors with
returns comparable with global equity markets but with lower
volatility and drawdown risk10. When we analyse Insight’s broad
opportunities strategy in the context of several common portfolio
methodologies including SAA, core/satellite and mitigation of
sequencing risk strategies, we can observe that the strategy:
• is unlikely to trigger a breach of SAA guidelines in practice, and
may enable greater flexibility within the context of the broader
portfolio
• may provide a credible alternative to traditional satellite funds.
• may be considered as part of a portfolio ‘core’ given its
focus on risk management
• may further enhance the capability of mitigating
sequencing risk
Insight’s focus on risk management has produced a consistent
distribution of returns in the period observed in this paper.
The objective of seeking long-term growth whilst maintaining a
close focus on risk management may make it attractive for use
in various portfolio construction frameworks, playing a specific
role of diversification in the portfolio.
