AIFAM

Our Investment Policy

AIFAM seeks to aggressively source and pursue new investment targets and opportunities in a changing investment environment.

The effect of an investment manager’s outlook on changes in the market cannot be eliminated completely, whether such views are correct or incorrect. However, we seek to pursue alpha and minimize the effects of the market by weighing various factors, such as the manager’s position as a unique player or an early entrant.

Fund of Funds Investments
We seek to construct a portfolio that brings together managers of varying characteristics based on an investment universe tailored to the given investment mandate (liquidity, expected returns, etc). We seek to proactively rotate investment managers as needed based on their competitive edge and positioning in an ever-changing investment environment.

In-House Investments
We seek to capture new investment opportunities and strategies and bring our own added value to such opportunities. We will proactively allocate our capital to pursue additional infrastructure and talent if the given opportunity set is compelling.

Our Risk Management Policy

Preservation of capital is our number one priority. We will seek to minimize market risk by continuously striving for accurate risk assessment as well as diversification across different risk characteristics. In addition, we will seek to minimize other non-market risk (such as a manager’s operational risk) through our extensive experience in operational due diligence.

Our Client Service Policy

We provide our clients with a high level of transparency, in addition to timely information of the portfolio, investment policy and analysis of the investment environment. We also seek to supply added value by advising clients on the positioning of their organizations in changing times, and by helping them develop new frontiers in their businesses.
