Northern Trust Asset Management has partnered with Orion Portfolio Solutions to bring strategies to the platform to help investors be compensated for the risks they take – in all market environments and in any investment strategy. Having downside protection is very important to investors making this a key reason to allocate assets to low volatility strategies. Traditional low volatility strategies have challenges such as unintended sector allocations and interest rate sensitivities which are uncompensated risks. Northern Trust Asset Management’s Quality Low Volatility strategy was designed to deliver consistent long-term outperformance with lower risk than that of the index while avoiding pitfalls associated with traditional low volatility investing. The Quality Low Volatility strategy is a diversified, higher quality and lower volatility portfolio that delivers attractive up-market participation and protection during down markets. This strategy is designed to efficiently deliver excess returns with a 15% – 25% reduction in absolute volatility relative to the benchmark while mitigating uncompensated risk exposures. This helps to provide clients with a smoother investing experience.
