LARGE CAP VALUE DIVIDEND FOCUS - Risk Management
We construct portfolios to participate in market upside, and protect against the downside. If a candidate has passed the quantitative screen and fundamental analysis, then it is evaluated within the context of the overall portfolio.  
  • Portfolio construction process enables lead manager to systematically evaluate overall portfolio’s risk as well as each stock’s contribution to risk
  • Near-term factors including Time Weighted Revision (TWR) and Standard Unexpected Earnings (SUE) are used as an additional tool to optimize portfolio weights near earnings reporting season and enhance downside protection and upside capture
  • Portfolio constraints provide latitude to pursue stocks with compelling reward/risk ratios and help reinforce risk management framework
  • Up to 3% active weight for individual securities  
Sector weight constrains:
  • Index sector weight of less than 5%: 0 to 2.0x index weight
  • Index sector weight of 5% to 10%: 0.5x to 1.5x index weight
  • Index sector weight at or above 10%: 0.8 to 1.2x index weight
