SAM provides investment management services to qualified/accredited investors, family offices, private banks, trust companies, institutions and pension funds, as well as to the Stenham Funds. The investment management services are provided to Clients located in the UK, Europe, Channel Islands, the Caribbean, South Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Mauritius and Japan, and SAM is expanding its services into the United States. As at April 30, 2023 SAM managed approximately US $2,784 million on a discretionary basis. Overview of Investment Management Services SAM manages Client assets by investing such assets in hedge funds (“Underlying Funds”) managed by third party managers (“Portfolio Managers”) that employ various strategies and which can invest or trade in a wide variety of securities and other instruments, including, but not limited to, equities and fixed income securities, currencies, commodities, futures contracts, options and other derivative instruments. SAM provides its investment management services through a number of Stenham Funds which invest in such Underlying Funds or through the management of bespoke (i.e., customised) segregated accounts for individual Clients. The Underlying Funds utilised include privately-offered, publicly- traded and registered mutual funds managed by these Portfolio Managers Stenham Funds: The Stenham Funds are offshore domiciled funds established in either the British Virgin Islands as mutual funds, or in Guernsey as protected cell investment companies. Each Stenham Fund is established for investment by multiple investors and invests on a strategic basis in a variety of Underlying Funds. The SAM Investment Committee establishes the guidelines for the Stenham Funds, and utilising research input from SAP, SAM makes the investment decisions. Investment guidelines for each Stenham Fund are described in the Offering Materials of each Fund. Stenham Managed Portfolios Services: SAM offers Clients the flexibility of investing directly in Underlying Funds or Stenham Funds through bespoke managed accounts (each, a “Stenham Managed Portfolio” or, sometimes, a “Portfolio”). In addition, institutional Clients may invest in their own single investor Fund structure. SAM’s portfolio management team works with each Client to establish a portfolio mandate which may be on a discretionary, non-discretionary or advisory only basis. In this manner, Stenham Managed Portfolios can be tailored to the individual needs of Clients. Investment Approach SAM’s investment philosophy is to seek to deliver consistent capital growth by implementing a strategy of diversification to manage the level of risk in a Client’s portfolio, through investing in “absolute return” investment strategies. Key features of SAM’s investment process are as follow:
• Strategy Allocation Strategy allocation is a significant part of SAM’s investment process. SAM selects individual hedge strategies according to its assessment of the risks driving returns in the context of its forward- looking view of the global macro environment and its outlook for different hedge fund strategies. The most important input to formulating its macro view is its detailed evaluation of, and constant communication with, hedge fund managers.
• Manager Selection A rigorous due diligence process conducted by SAM’s affiliate, SAP, including qualitative, quantitative and operational research, is undertaken. This research seeks out global hedge fund managers who, SAM believes, can consistently deliver alpha without taking excessive risks.
• Portfolio Construction. Using quantitative models with a qualitative overlay, SAM builds robust portfolios designed to provide geographical diversification across uncorrelated hedge strategies and Portfolio Managers.
• Risk Management On an on-going basis, SAM seeks to manage Client risk through careful monitoring of Client portfolios.
