About Multi-Management
What is Multi-Management?
Multi-Manager is a dedicated asset management division within Nedgroup Investments that consists of a diverse team of investment professionals based in Cape Town and London. We specialise in asset allocation and fund manager research and base our investment decisions on fundamentally-driven research. Collectively the team manages in excess of R25bn in assets on behalf of clients across both the retail and institutional markets and have an enviable track record going back as far as 2004.
Our investment process
Our investment process comprises of various disciplines, including strategic and tactical asset allocation, manager research, portfolio construction and performance reporting. The aim of our portfolio construction process is to build and maintain a well-diversified mix of exposures, which emphasises those risks that we expect to deliver positive rewards, and minimises those that we believe might detract value.
Our investment principles
We follow a long-term, valuation driven investment approach. Simplistically, we aim to position our portfolios to asset classes that offer reasonable value over a three to five year investment time horizon and avoid or minimize our exposure to asset classes that appear overpriced or expensive.
