What is included
Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA) Reports
Our Monthly TAA reports cover our 6-12 month view for all major asset classes. Quarterly TAA reports go into more depth and answer common client questions. We cover the risk-reward profile of every asset, considering both the macro backdrop and market pricing. We also take a holistic portfolio view, recommending hedges against the more salient risk to our view.
Special Strategic Asset Allocation Reports (SAA)
We write 10-12 reports a year on SAA topics. Our coverage includes topics such as factor investing, dilution, sector vs country effects, inflation hedging, safe havens, tail risk strategies, and rebalancing. Every year we also update our Capital Market Assumptions, which provide expected returns, volatility, and correlation estimates for all major asset classes for the next decade.
Client Interaction
We can tailor calls and visits, review your portfolio against the BCA view and/or act as a sounding board for your allocation issues. We can help tackle the big asset allocations questions your team is struggling with, tailoring our approach to your specific goals and constraints.
