Discretionary Portfolio and Investment Process

Investment Philosophy

Asset Class and Segment Allocation
In our experience, sustainable portfolio performance comes primarily from appropriate Asset and Segment allocation more than any stock picking selection. In fact, most stock pickers will lag market returns over the long run. One is usually better off buying an index fund vs. a selection of individual stocks as less specific risk will lead to higher adjusted return. However, active mandates and tactical allocation can achieve alpha through appropriate selection or weighting of sectors and assets. Investing in any index fund is an active decision with opportunity costs – but we believe that choosing the right mix of assets over time will be substantially more important than single winners.
Time Horizon
Clients will benefit from a portfolio if they can be patient, stay invested, and navigate volatile situations. It’s key to select the right portfolio strategy for each client, given that every investor will be able to withstand different risks, volatility levels, and drawdowns. Patience is crucial: “time in” the market is much more important than “timing” the market. Timing the market result costly as missing the best days of the year is impacting long term performance and selling at the peak of the market almost impossible. We look for a dynamic asset allocation to try to optimize the performance, targeting the right sectors and segments in accordance with risk profile selected by the client.

Our Discretionnary Portfolios

Sentosa & Co. offers a professional discretionary management process with three different profiles that adapt to the return and risk profile of each client. The three strategies (Income, Balanced, and Growth) are actively managed according to a top-down analysis of the market environment. The strategies take into account multiple factors: the macro situation, the economic cycle, key current investment themes, as well as the sentiment, and the technical momentum of the market.

The three profiles benefit from allocation ranges around the neutral allocation, allowing us to flexibly implement our views with conviction within the Asset Allocation. Through constant monitoring, we select sectors and assets that we are Overweight or Underweight and implement accordingly.

Core-satellite as a Performance Booster

We split our portfolios between CORE and SATELLITE and look to enhance performance by selecting the right tactical allocation within the satellite segment. Within Fixed Income, a satellite investment is characterized by more speculative and more volatile sectors, typically High Yield, Emerging Markets, Subordinated debt, and potential Unconstrained strategies. A satellite equity investment would be oriented towards sectors, specific countries, styles, and market capitalization.

ETFs for More Transparency, Cost Savings, and
Better Risk Adjusted Return

We believe in creating Alpha by Beta, more than selecting the right stock or basket of stocks. By selecting the right segment with the right weighting, we improve our adjusted return and don’t depend on direct company specific risk.

We prefer to build up our portfolios with ETFs, as they provide transparency and low cost of management. We only go for mutual funds in the rare case where we don’t find any opportunities in the theme or segment within the ETF space or when a fund manager has proven their ability to provide higher risk adjusted return after fees compared to a passive investment.
