BEYOND 60/40 NAVIGATING THE
ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENT UNIVERSE
David Kaufman, LL.B., CAIA
President, Westcourt Capital Corporation
April, 2013
STEP-BY-STEP 1. Define Portfolio Objectives
2. Test Objectives Against Current Portfolio
3. Identify Opportunity Set of Asset Classes & Strategies
4. Identify Allocations
5. Identify Managers
6. Test New Portfolio over Adequate Time Period
P a g e 2
Allocating to Alternatives: Baseline Considerations
LIQUIDITY: There is little likelihood that 100% portfolio liquidity would be required to satisfy liabilities in real-time. However, liquidity is still an important consideration because a lack of liquidity requires “locking in” to a specific strategy for an extended period of time. This applies the most to private equity (5-7 years). (See liquidity table on next slide.)
RECOGNIZABILITY: It may be important that a significant portion of the portfolio be “recognizable” to lay observers. This militates in favour of more liquid, publicly traded investments.
TRANSPARENCY: It is advantageous to have transparency in investment holdings at all times. While most alternative managers provide transparency, it is often backward-looking and this should be considered.
COMPLEXITY: Distinct from transparency in that an investment can be transparent and still be complex. Complexity affects the ability to assess any investment’s position from a portfolio perspective, but is not in itself negative. Complexity does require more of a “trust me” approach to manager review and selection.
PREDICTABILITY: Some investments are liquid, recognizable, transparent, and not complex but are still not necessarily predictable. Many alternative strategies (i.e., private and public real estate and infrastructure) are predictable because of expected periodic cash distributions.

Alternative Liquidity & Financial Crisis

Investment Liquidity Sensitivity Notes
Public Real Estate & Infrastructure
1-30 Days High Majority in instant-liquidity with high volumes
Private Real Estate 30 Days Medium Illiquidity of underlying assets cannot be ignored
Equity & Credit Market Neutral
30 Days Low Agnostic as to market direction
Deep Value Equities 30-90 Days High Must accept volatility and consider long-term
Private Equity 5-7 Years High
(Mark to Market) Must accept volatility and consider long-term
Managed Futures 1-30 Days Inverse Would hold during periods of financial stress
Risk Management Issues with Alternatives
Understand how lower liquidity creates a smoothing effect.
Rebalancing can be hard or impossible with illiquid investments.
In some cases, difficulty marking certain assets (no public bid).
Have to have more staff or use consultants (increased costs).
Even with staff and consulting, need training – traditional fundamental analysis of little use with certain alternatives. CAIA instead of or in addition to CFA good start for analysts in this space.
STEP 1:
PORTFOLIO OBJECTIVES
P a g e 6
Portfolio Objectives: Macro (example)
Capital Preservation
Long-Term Growth of Portfolio
Income Generation to Match Liabilities
Inflation Protection
Adequate Liquidity to Satisfy Collateral Needs
P a g e 7
Portfolio Objectives: Micro (example) Target Total Return: 6% p.a.
Volatility: Annualized standard deviation ≤ total return
Downside Deviation: Annualized downside deviation ≤ 4%
Excess Beta* (Up Beta – Down Beta): >0.2
Asset Correlation: 85% ≤ 0.65
Liquidity: 80% of portfolio can be liquidated in 30 days or less
Capacity: Recommended strategies have capacity for allocation

Current Portfolio (example) Tested Against Micro Objectives (previous 60 months)
P a g e 1 2
*Measured against Balanced Benchmark
Objectives (Annualized) Target Example Portfolio
Target Total Return 6% p.a. X : 3.01%
Volatility (StDev) ≤ total return X : 8.77%
Downside Deviation ≤ 4% X : 7.92%
Excess Beta (Up Beta – Down Beta)* ≥ 0.2 X: -0.19
Asset Correlation 85% ≤ 0.65 X : 73% ≤ 0.65
Liquidity 80% (≤ 30 days) : 100%
P a g e 1 3
Challenges Moving Forward
Likelihood that equity returns will continue to be in rage of 0-8% with volatility > 10% (higher deployment takes further away from micro objectives). (risk-adjusted return risk)
30-year bond run is at an end. We don’t know when, but we’re not market timers. (duration risk)
30-year total returns of stocks/bonds (any mix) of 8%+ is impossible to repeat. (stagnation risk)
On a relative scale, institutional investors not allocating to alternatives are falling further behind every year. (job risk)

Degrees of Freedom
“Pure” Approach to Portfolio Construction
No “Sacred Cows”
Assumes Every Asset Class/Strategy Starts at 0%
Inclusion of any Asset Class/Strategy Must be Defended
Requires Cross-Platform Scoring System as Guide: i.e. Heat Map
P a g e 1 6
Asset Classes vs. Investment Strategies Asset Classes: Cash, Equities, Debt, Real Assets
Can Be Accessed Cheaply (ETFs) or Through Active Management
Typically Long-Only, No Leverage
Investment Strategies: Use of Asset Classes, Active Management
Often Absolute Return Focused
Long/Short, Leverage, Derivatives (Enhance Returns/Manage Risk)
Rules-Based or Free Active Management
Higher Management Fees, More Risk Management

Using the Results to Allocate MATH IS OUR SERVANT, NOT OUR MASTER
Heat Map Approach is NOT Mathematical Optimizer
Apply Subjective Review & Correlation Study
Using Heat Map as Guide, Create Ranges
Consider Variables (Such as Recognizability & Liquidity)
Within Ranges, Select “Day-1” Allocations
Begin Manager Selection Process
STEP 5:
IDENTIFY MANAGERS
P a g e 2 4
Manager Selection Checklist
1. Assets Under Management: Must be in scale with prospective allocation.
2. Capacity: Must be appropriate for prospective allocation.
3. Manager Experience: Whether at a large institution or managing fund, adequate experience.
4. Manager Expertise: Clear best-in-class academic and practical training.
5. Risk-Adjusted Performance: In line with investment objectives within defined constraints.
6. Risk-Adjusted Performance vs. Peer Group: Quantitative evidence of quality of manager.
7. Operations/Infrastructure: Solid core; front and back office.
8. Best in Class Service Providers: Auditors, dealers, lawyers, counterparties.
9. Subjective Competence: Reference checks, interviews, character evaluation.
Manager Selection Process

(Not All Managers, But Adequate Representative List)
