    Asset Allocation

    Meeting the Investment Objectives of the Comfort Portfolio

    Strategic Asset Allocation
    • Inter-asset Strategic Allocation decides the percentage of the portfolio allocated to Equity-arbitrage and Debt as per the risk profile of the investor.
    • Intra-asset Strategic Allocation is done between ultra-short duration debt (of up to 90 days) and low duration debt (of up to 365 days) as per the interest rate scenario. In a rising interest rate regime, lesser duration is preferred and vice versa in a falling interest rate regime.

    The Galactic Family of Portfolios

    When you decide to invest for your future self, be it 10, 20, 30, or 50 years from today, we respect your choice that requires a long-term commitment. During this time you may encounter:

    • Turbulence in the markets
    • Personal challenges

    Investment portfolios suffer the greatest damage when these events coincide (need for money and drop in portfolio value). The Galactic Suite provides a comfortable and doable investment journey while avoiding unsavory outcomes using 5 strategies combined to make 5 portfolios for the long to medium term.

    Inspiration Behind The Galactic Suite

    The Galactic Suite is inspired by The Milky Way galaxy, which has 5 arms in the shape of Golden Spirals. 5 itself is a Fibonacci number.

    Correspondingly, the Galactic Suite’s portfolios, are themselves a portfolio of 5 strategies representing the 5 arms of the Milky Way.

    Each of these strategies gives exposure to a separate asset class and is named after the arms of the Milky Way galaxy:

    1. Cygnus
    2. Perseus
    3. Sagittarius
    4. Scutum-Crux
    5. Norma
    Asset Allocation
    for Core Portfolios

    Asset allocation involves dividing your investments among different assets, such as stocks, bonds, gold, cash, etc.

    External View: Different assets have different characteristics and increase or decrease in value at different points of time (market cycles) owing to various conditions affecting an economy or the world at a point in time. Since these conditions are very hard to predict diversifying into various assets becomes essential for an investor.

    Internal View: Asset allocation is also relevant to the investment objectives of the investor. For an individual or a family, the asset allocation will be guided by the life-stage and wealth levels. Since wealth levels are relative (at a given point of time) and life stages are predictable (for a few generations), asset allocations can be reasonably determined. For a non-individual, the allocation will be guided by more-clear cut objectives defined by its investment policy or charter.

    Asset allocation can be done in 2 ways:

    I. Dynamic

    Dynamic asset allocation requires frequent adjustment of the mix of asset classes to suit market conditions basis an underlying formula.

    • For medium-term portfolios 5 to 10 years.
    • Rebalance according to a schedule.
    • Efficient for portfolio characteristics like lowering volatility or enhancing returns.
    II. Strategic

    Strategic asset allocation requires investors to set target allocations for various asset classes and only rebalance the portfolio at certain triggers.

    • For long-term portfolios beyond 10 years.
    • Rebalance according to an event occurrence.
    • Efficient for lower tax and better returns.
    2-D Diversification
    Inter-Asset and Intra-Asset Diversification

    Diversification means investing in multiple assets and their variants. This is akin to owning multiple businesses which are independent of each other. The intention is to bank on the fact that not all businesses will perform badly or fail at the same time. This means some growth and safety will be provided by each asset class at different times for the invested corpus.

    Diversification can not only be done in between asset classes (inter-asset diversification) but also within an asset class (intra-asset diversification). These are the 2 dimensions of 2-D Diversification.

    I. Inter-Asset Diversification

    The first dimension or the inter-asset diversification is determined by the Asset Allocation strategy. It involves splitting up capital between different asset classes. The trade-off here is between preservation and growth. Asset classes in order of lower safety to higher safety are as follows:

    Preservation Assets (Government Bonds > Corporate Bonds) >> Accumulation Assets (Gold) >> Growth Assets (U.S. Equity > India Equity)

    Typically, for the individual, a higher percentage of Growth assets are preferred in youth, and more Preservation assets are taken up as the individual matures. This allocation can be fixed (static/ strategic) or variable (dynamic/ tactical).

    II. Intra-asset Diversification

    Diversification can also be done within an asset class by taking exposure to different components of the asset class. This exposure is highly linked to the volatility of the different components of the asset class. Volatility can be easily liked to a single major parameter of the asset class. The various parameters for different asset classes are as follows:

    Variability of Duration (Government Bonds) – This means that funds exposed to constant maturity bonds are less risky than those which are exposed to variable maturity bonds i.e. actively managed.

    Quality (Corporate Bonds) – Quality of debt i.e. AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, etc, ratings are directly linked to the volatility and returns of the bonds. Lower-quality debt carries a higher risk of default but also can give more returns. Lower-quality debt is also more volatile.

    Touch-frequency (Gold) – Strategies which hold gold for longer are less risky than once which tactically manage (move in and out of the asset) the market cycles of gold at a higher frequency.

    Specialization (U.S. Equity) – In a developed economy like the U.S. specialized companies (such as technology) carry more risk than the general economy, but also carry the potential of growing faster than the general economy.

    Market-cap (India Equity) – In a developing but large market like India, the size (or market capitalization) of the companies is a good indicator of risk involved with them and hence the volatility. larger size carries less risk, smaller size more risk as well as returns.

    The 2-Dimension of Risk can be crossed over to meet various investment objectives for various risk profiles as follows.
