Multi-management: Taking the hassle out of investment

Everyone’s savings journey is different, with unique circumstances, needs and aspirations. Yet, there exists a shared commonality when it comes to managing one’s investments and savings: it is not getting any easier.

The reality is that carefully overseeing your savings is challenging today. The investment industry is constantly shifting and evolving at warp speed.

Taking care of your money and other assets requires navigating an increasingly complex landscape.

The pressures and challenges brought about by volatile markets and changing regulations have greatly shifted the requirements of investments and their ability to deliver on their objectives.

In the pursuit of taking the hassle out of investments, there is a growing interest in multi-managed solutions across the broader market globally.

These solutions combine several asset managers, across different markets, asset classes and investment philosophies, into one portfolio to better manage investment risk and smooth out your investment returns.

The growing popularity of multi-managed solutions makes sense for several reasons:



The choice paradox: Too much choice is not always a good thing

Keeping up with the complex and ever-changing investment world is overwhelming.

With more and more riding on each decision—and each decision getting harder and harder to make—what’s the right choice?

Namibians, like other investors globally, are simply overwhelmed by investment choices.

Too much choice and complexity can compromise decision-making and lead to poor outcomes.

It seems that the answer is not having more options to choose from, but rather being better at choosing.

Multi-management means delegating day-to-day operational and investment management decisions to industry experts who manage and monitor your investments in real time.

Using the insights and expertise surrounding each core area of investment management, a team of professionals is dedicated to making sense of this complex world and exercising good judgement and quick decisions on your behalf.



Managing expectations: The real costs of emotional investing

Poor investment decisions undermine good investment returns.

The rate of return earned on investments is important, but only in the context of keeping investors invested and confidently on track to reaching their investment objectives—by not letting their emotions win over reason.

Multi-managed solutions aim to manage savings and investments in a way that is tied to expectations and comfort levels.

This is done by bringing the best asset managers together and balancing their strengths to find the right complementary blend of skills that work for you across all market conditions.



A portfolio solution

Multi-managed solutions provide investors with a unique opportunity to address the complexity, concerns and anxiety surrounding the management, oversight and performance of their savings and investments.
