Portfolio Construction
Process & Philosophy

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS:

MULTIPLE MANAGERS, ONE MANAGED ACCOUNT

Available through the Merrill Lynch Consults service, Allianz Global Investors Multi-Firm Consults Diversified Portfolios (CDPs) enable investors to implement an asset allocation strategy using multiple independent investment managers within one integrated account. These portfolios offer your clients a number of valuable benefits:

  • Low relative volatility-Low standard deviation compared to similar portfolios in each risk category over the last 5 years.
  • Strong dividend yield-Dividend-focused deep value approach employed in managing value portions of the portfolio gives overall portfolio an attractive dividend yield and low P/E ratio relative to the benchmark.
  • Market cap diversification-Exposure to small-, mid- and large-cap stocks.

 

COST-EFFECTIVE IMPLEMENTATION

Importantly, investors can access Allianz Global Investors CDPs for a minimum investment that is lower than would be required to open individual accounts with each underlying investment manager.

 

THE SMART ADMINISTRATION ADVANTAGE

Allianz Global Investors Multi-Firm CDPs offer the advantages of integrated "Smart Administration":

  • Disciplined rebalancing-Portfolios are generally rebalanced to the target allocation once per calendar year. Similar rebalancing will also occur should the allocation to a particular style fall below or rise above established allocation ranges.
  • Streamlined trading-Trades for all managers are conducted on a single platform to consolidate orders, avoid wash sales and realize trading efficiencies.
  • Centralized account management-Investors can avoid or limit exposure to specific stocks/sectors and achieve tax management across all sub-portfolios.

 

ACCESS TO A RANGE OF WORLD-CLASS INVESTMENT MANAGERS

Through its Multi-Firm CDPs, Allianz Global Investors offers you and your clients access to the specialized expertise of respected, independent investment firms, each with a firm-wide commitment to a specific investment style.

Past performance is no guarantee of future results. This is not an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any financial instrument. It is presented only to provide information on investment strategies and opportunities. Statements concerning financial market trends are based on current market conditions, which will fluctuate. References to specific securities and issuers are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be, and should not be interpreted as, recommendations to purchase or sell such securities.

 

Allianz Global Investors Managed Accounts manages this strategy using model portfolios developed by the sub-advisors as a guide. While Allianz Global Investors Managed Accounts generally intends to follow the sub-advisors' recommendations, as the investment manager it has the discretion to accept or reject any investment recommendation and to deviate from the model portfolios.

The allocation of the underlying securities is dynamic. No representation is being made that rebalancing will be timely or have a positive impact on the Portfolio. Hypothetical testing used to help construct this allocation did not take into consideration market conditions, trading costs associated with rebalancing and certain other factors. Smart Administration should not be a substitute for financial advice with respect to changes in an investor's personal financial situation. 

 

Investing in securities entails risk. When investing in value securities, the market may not necessarily have the same value assessment as the manager, and, therefore, the performance of the securities may decline. Investments in smaller companies may be more volatile than investments in larger companies. Investing in non-U.S. securities entails additional risks, including political and economic risk and the risk of currency fluctuations; these risks may be enhanced in emerging markets. Diversification does not ensure against loss.
