NH-CA is an active, team-based manager which believes that portfolio allocation must be based on careful assessment of market risk and seeks to deliver a consistent return for the risks assumed.The firm's equity investment process begins with the investment committee allocating sectors, picking stocks and developing the risk allocation model and model portfolio. Portfolio managers then construct portfolios based on client needs and perform risk monitoring of the actual portfolios. Finally, the investment/risk management team evaluates portfolio and benchmark performance.The portfolio managers use the firm's proprietary portfolio risk monitoring panel to identify potential risk sources, conduct simulations, show changes in volatility, performance and portfolio exposure as managers reshuffle portfolio risk through asset allocation revision and stock picking.Fixed-income investments follow a combined top-down and bottom-up approach which begins as the investment committee performs strategic analysis using macroeconomic data. They then work with credit analysts and fund managers to conduct yield and credit reviews. Researchers and fund managers construct the risk-adjusted model portfolios based on clients' guidelines and risk assessment, and then the fund managers perform relative value analysis to construct the final portfolio.
