Devon Pride process has evolved over the years and has been tested in virtually every market environment. It integrates insights from our Cyclical Forums, which anticipate market and economic trends over the coming 6 to 12 months, and the annual Secular Forum, which projects trends over the coming three to five years. These top-down views are complemented by bottom-up perspectives from specialists and quantitative analysis of individual securities and portfolio construction. Devon Pride Committee, which is composed of senior investment professionals, drives decision-making on a daily basis to ensure that we exceed our clients expectation.
We make use of empirical data to identify strategies or regions that offer improving or deteriorating characteristics. We focus on the long-term opportunities where strategy tailwinds exist, while seeking to avoid those with headwinds. Our procedure supplements rigorous qualitative investment research with proprietary quantitative analytics to paint a complete investment due diligence picture. By deconstructing our returns into component strategies, regions or asset classes, we are able to identify where we can add value and are differentiated. Using quantitative portfolio construction techniques, we determine the optimal blend of strategies and managers given portfolio risk, return and liquidity objectives. At the portfolio level, we monitor performances and risks relative to our stated objectives. We also scrutinize underlying investment theses and ensure rankings are still valid at the manager level.
Devon Pride aims to realize opportunities for our clients, shareholders and people while meeting expectations of sound corporate governance. We are in business to be profitable, but it is the way we do business that defines us. Devon Pride high standards for conduct are underpinned by What We Stand For, and our long-held principles of Opportunity, Accountability and Integrity.
