    Creation and implementation of an investment policy

  • Client description

    Medium-sized Portuguese Foundation

  • Client's goal

    Our client looked to maximize the profitability and efficiency of its investments. With previous unsatisfactory results and a very complex investment model, the client decided to adopt Dolat Capital's OCIO Investment Advisory service.

  • Dolat Capital's Solution

    We offered the Foundation an OCIO Investment Advisory service, of which the main elements included:
    - Development of a specific investment policy: we created a specific investment policy for the Foundation, considering its financial objectives, risk tolerance and spending policy. This policy served as a guide for the foundation's investment decisions.
    - Optimized investment model: We proposed a comprehensive investment model for the Foundation. This model was based on four key pillars:
    1. indexed management was adopted to provide simplicity, liquidity and structurally low costs;
    2. a long-term investment strategy was implemented, aligned with the foundation's objectives, with the aim of obtaining consistent and sustainable returns over the long term;
    3. a highly diversified portfolio was constructed, consisting of more than 10,000 securities from different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds and commodities, with the aim of reducing risks and taking advantage of opportunities in different asset classes, regions and economic sectors;
    4. Finally, they were selected from top-tier service providers, including asset managers and custody banks. This ensured that the foundation had access to the best investment solutions and had high-quality services and operational strenght.
