How we think

A forward-looking total-portfolio methodology

PNYX approaches investment strategy as an optimization problem: how to pursue defined objectives while respecting financial, organizational, regulatory, liquidity and stakeholder constraints.

Our framework

PNYX's Four Principles of Investment Governance

PNYX has applied this robust framework across a broad range of asset owners. Its principles are consistent, while its application is deliberately tailored to each asset owner's objectives, identity, constraints and portfolio.

  1. 01

    Objectives & constraints

    Establish what the asset owner is seeking to achieve, over which horizons, and within which explicit and implicit constraints.

  2. 02

    Values & culture

    Examine how institutional identity, culture, information and decision behaviour support or obstruct investment objectives.

  3. 03

    Forward views

    Develop and test scenarios incorporating traditional and non-traditional factors to examine a wider range of risks and opportunities.

  4. 04

    Top-down across asset classes

    Look through asset-class labels to underlying drivers of return, risk, liquidity and dependency.
