”To identify those fund managers who can
truly offer a competitive advantage”

Thalia has developed its own vision and methodology based on qualitative
analysis aimed at selecting talented fund managers able to produce above
average absolute returns resulting from a disciplined investment process
(transparent, consistent and repeatable), coherent with the risks taken.
The achievement of this goal will then enable us to create portfolios
that reduce the specific risk of single manager investments and to
maximize the performance for a given risk tolerance.
Unlike many other investment companies, Thalia’s philosophy is based on
the conviction that a portfolio cannot be constructed using quantitative
tools but it must be primarily based on conviction. Qualitative research
is then complemented by quantitative analysis, risk analysis and control
systems. Where applicable, a combination of specific models and
instruments suitable for the complexity and the characteristics of the
hedge fund industry are used.
Thalia’s investment team seldom takes a top-down view on markets and
rather prefers to build portfolios with a 3 to 5 year view fitting with
the overall risk/return profile of our clients. This is the case of our
personalised portfolios, which are typically created on the back of a
specific request from the client and can be altered over time to account
for changing market conditions and/or to make room for new investment
products (funds of funds or single managers alike).
