ALO13: Building Resilient Portfolios with Alternatives ft. Dylan Grice

Today, we are joined by Dylan Grice, Co-Founder at Calderwood Capital, for a conversation on how he thinks about portfolio construction through focusing on alternative and niche investments. We discuss how Dylan and his team work and why they shy away from trying to predict the future, how they analyse the current economic situation and why he thinks what happens to inflation and interest rates the next few years is insignificant. We also discuss how they manage the risk of the strategies they are working with and how they build a solid return profile, approach manager selection, how you can avoid being seduced by managers through narratives and much more.-----EXCEPTIONAL RESOURCE: Find Out How to Build a Safer & Better Performing Portfolio using this FREE NEW Portfolio Builder Tool-----Follow Niels on Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube or via the TTU website.IT’s TRUE ? – most CIO’s read 50+ books each year – get your FREE copy of the Ultimate Guide to the Best Investment Books ever written here.And you can get a free copy of my latest book “The Many Flavors of Trend Following” here.Learn more about the Trend Barometer here.Send your questions to [email protected] please share this episode with a like-minded friend and leave an honest Rating & Review on iTunes or Spotify so more people can discover the podcast.Follow Alan on Twitter.Follow Dylan on Twitter.Episode TimeStamps: 00:00 - Intro03:17 - Introduction to Dylan Grice08:37 - How does Calderwood Capital work?20:47 - Macro, micro or mixing both?25:54 - Signs of stress in the markets?32:37 - Grice’s perspective on inflation and interest rates36:19 - How do they construct their portfolios?43:32 - The art of managing risk48:45 - Building an all weather return profile54:28 - Assessing the managers01:01:26 - When things go wrong01:03:16 - Advice for people working in similar fields01:05:52 - Key takeaways from Niels Copyright © 2023 – CMC AG – All Rights...
