Multiple Specialist Managers:
Designed to Deliver More Consistent Performance
We have found that identifying, hiring and managing specialist money managers helps to deliver more consistent performance. We call this process “managing the managers.”
Managers who specialize in a particular area of a market have the experience necessary to perfect a specific investment style. They not only know where to seek opportunity, but how to anticipate favorable and unfavorable changes. This focus may produce more consistent results than using generalist managers who tend to “roam” the markets or drift from one style to another, often outside of their firm’s core competencies.
To implement our asset allocation strategies, The Insight Group utilizes a global network of independent specialist money managers whose management styles complement each other. For example, in the small cap growth sector, using multiple managers with a highly differentiated investment process can ensure diversification within the sector, which may help to control risk and enhance returns. SEI’s investment team of analysts, many of whom hold the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) and other advanced designations, is dedicated to implementing and overseeing the investment process for our clients. Team responsibilities include the selection of managers, tracking and managing consistency regarding manager performance, risk control and daily manager monitoring.
