We look at risk across the board and we have a very diversified portfolio across many asset classes. We invest in a lot of fixed income and equities, but if a good opportunity comes along in alternative assets that we can move quickly on, we are also very happy to do that. This can mean quite a lot of hard work to executing certain investments, but we\u2019re very diligent and we put in the effort to ensure each transaction is done properly.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-6a0b315696905'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <p><div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>How do you form your investment view?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>We believe in cycles. Humans have animal spirits and we invest in that way. We also invest across the capital structure in Asia and we build up each of our portfolios one by one. Asia is different from Europe because it is growing so much faster and there is more alpha here. The restrictions to access to certain markets in this region also gives us an advantage as an investor.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunities and regulations also vary quite a lot in each of the markets in Asia. When you see an opportunity, you need to be able to move very quickly and that is our strength. Risk premia is low these days and there is potential for severe volatility. What makes asset allocation interesting from where I sit is that we can invest across the capital structure and there will always be interesting assets that we can invest in, so it\u2019s very valuable being nimble in our region.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-6a0b315698c79'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <p><div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>What are the challenges to investing in APAC?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>Investing in Asia is more interesting than in a developed market such as Europe, though it can also be harder. We are affected by many different regulations, so we think about investments according to the market and not the region. We invest in Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand where we operate \u2014 and being a CIO in Asia, you don\u2019t just need a strong macro view but you also need to understand in detail what you invest in. That\u2019s where having a strong investment team helps.<\/p>\n<p>A lot of markets in Asia are not always accessible and there are benefits to investing like a local company. Market access can be far from perfect and there are frictional costs. Some of these markets have trapped capital, which can make certain markets quite crowded. It\u2019s both a challenge and opportunity.

We\u2019re really long into an upcycle for asset markets and the markets are looking expensive when you look at the risks. There are potential flashpoints politically that can harm underlying economies and markets, so diversifying your portfolio is really important. We believe in cycles and we are of the view that we are late in the cycle. On the technology side, we are looking at our stack and seeing what can be scaled. We\u2019ve added new countries to our business and we need the technology infrastructure to help us do that. We do worry about the cost of a modular approach of tying many systems together, so we suspect that the market is moving towards a smaller number of systems. Some of the markets in Asia are relatively immature, so you need to build out the proper infrastructure to have an accurate view of the aggregate risks across your portfolio.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n\n<div  class=\"bbg-row-container\">\n    <section class=\"bbg-row  text--black row-padding--top-none row-padding--bottom-none bbg-row--full-bg-bleed\" data-anchor='row-6a0b31569dbfd'>\n        \n        \n        <div\n            class=\"bbg-row--content\"\n                    >\n            \n            <p><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-2\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    \n<\/div><div\n    class=\"bbg-column bbg-column--width-8\"\n    style=\"\"\n    >\n    <p><div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p><strong>What role will technology play in the future of the buy side?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>We would broadly follow a traditional approach to investment management, where we would go very deep in how we invest.

For example, data scraping on job ads, power usage in China and other such data points where, if used collectively, could provide useful signals that can support your investment views.
