Investment philosophy and process
Our investment philosophy is anchored in the belief that quality active management will outperform broad markets over time, while mitigating risk. It’s this belief that continues to provide the basis for how we manage portfolios today.
Historical portfolio performance
Zenith has been operating a series of 5 risk profiles on the CFS platform since June 2009. The new CFS Specialist Portfolios which commenced on 27 September 2021 utilise the same investment philosophy, portfolio construction methodology and consulting team as the previous portfolios. However, they are new portfolios and past performance is no indication of future performance.
Our team
Leading the portfolio team for CFS managed accounts are highly experienced investment professionals Steven Tang and Shailesh Jain.
Managed account portfolio implementation is overseen by Steven, with key roles undertaken by Senior Consultants, David Wright, Ben Davis and Shailesh Jain, and assisted by members of the Zenith portfolio support, data, and administration teams.
Zenith has developed an internal ‘platform relations’ team to deal specifically with the implementation and ongoing rebalancing of managed accounts, a core part of any managed accounts service as each platform operates unique back-office functionalities. This team is led by James Damicoucas.
