Phases of the Asset Management Process
Asset Allocation is the process through which an investment strategy is defined and total wealth is divided amongst “asset classes”, i.e. groups of investments with homogenous market risk (this means that every asset class reacts differently to market changes or macroeconomic changes).
Some investor undervaluate the importance of asset allocation. Various academic and professional studies demonstrate that asset allocation is by far the most important factor in determining the success of the
investment process.
2. Investment proposal and solutions – Definition and importance of asset allocation

Phases of the Asset Management Process
It is fundamental to note that the asset allocation determines 92% of portfolio volatility in the long-medium term.

It is therefore vital to reflect the client’s expectations in the right asset allocation and therefore considering asset allocation in the investment process.

Phases of the Asset Management Process
After having determined the investment profile and only after the client has signed the asset management mandate CAMPONOVO ASSET MANAGEMENT SA will implement the investment strategy on the market.
We will particularly pay attention to
ØInvestment selection
ØMarket Timing and
ØTransaction cost minimization.
25
Phases of the Asset Management Process
In phase of equity market growth as between the 50’s and the 60’s and as in the 80’s and 90’s a “buy and hold” strategy has been the most attractive one. In other phases, in particular when markets were
consolidating, as in the 70’s or at the beginning of the new millennium, an active portfolio management strategy has been more successful.
This is the main reason why investment strategy flexibility is needed in adapting the investment strategy.
This means for us taking active choices in the management of client’s wealth, and according to our expectations adapt to different market conditions.
Phases of the Asset Management Process
Based on your investment profile, our portfolio managers will invest your wealth in various asset classes.
In the securities selection phase we particularly take care of choosing securities according to quality criteria based on sector/country and
credit risk analysis. The worldwide presence of CAMPONOVO ASSET MANAGEMENT SA and its partners is a fundamental requisite.
Of course constant monitoring of return and risk at the highest qualitative standards is a regular part of our investment process.
