Monthly investment updates

March 2019 investment update

Markets have rallied despite what appears to be the largest economic deceleration in recent years. How long will markets ignore the fact that corporate revenue, earnings and margin forecasts are deteriorating? It seems as if risk markets once again see bad news as good news, writes Dolfin’s Head of Investment Management, Richard Gray.

The future of wealth management is bionic

Wealth managers have long seen robo-advice and human expertise as distinct alternatives. But, argues Dolfin CEO Denis Nagy, firms can offer the two in tandem – and they must, if they are to avoid being left behind.

Four pillars of rigorous analysis.

We believe in going beyond mere ‘top down/bottom up’ methodology. Our approach is more thorough and built on four pillars of analysis: fundamental, quantitative, macro, and technical.

Fundamental

Fundamental analysis allows us to evaluate the intrinsic value of a security by discounting its future cash flows and compare basic ratios against a peer group.

Quantitative

We use our software, the Investment Toolkit, to process multi-dimensional data sets and extract important information about cross-asset correlations and lead lag effects among variables.

Macroeconomic

Macroeconomic analysis helps us forecast economic conditions that affect consumer and investment behaviour. We focus not only on national output, unemployment and inflation, but also on cross sector and inter-market relationships within the macro context.

Technical

Technical analysis helps us analyse price patterns and trading activity statistics of the different instruments/markets to assess the market timing component of the investment decisions.

The pillars in practice.

Fixed income

Our bond selection is carried out on the basis of two lines of analysis. First, at issuer level, we examine smart beta characteristics such as value, momentum, quality. Then, at the issue level, we look at the curve positioning.

Equities

Our equity selection utilises a proprietary methodology that focuses on smart beta characteristics combined with valuation matrics. We adopt a multi factor approach with a re-balancing option schedule that enables us to locate profitable opportunities.
