Continuous Innovation
The strategies behind our model portfolios have been vetted by some of the world’s most sophisticated investors. But ISG doesn’t stop there. The team is dedicated to optimizing its investment process to stay at the forefront of asset allocation, portfolio construction and risk evaluation.
Blending quantitative + qualitative
ISG combines its quantitative tools with qualitative analysis to assess the investment landscape for both risks and opportunities when constructing portfolios.
Evaluating constantly
Each model is rigorously monitored to help ensure that it efficiently delivers exposures that align with its distinct investment objectives.
Pursuing opportunity
Twice each month, ISG actively evaluates more than 125 different asset classes — a robust opportunity set that gives our model portfolios more ways to help investors efficiently pursue their objectives.
Questioning biases
A “devil’s advocate” is embedded into the monthly positioning and outlook meetings. This team member is tasked with challenging assumptions to uncover potential biases within ISG’s decision-making process.
