Accessing our solutions
Investment objective
To seek to maximise returns while managing portfolio volatility such that it does not exceed the Upper Risk Limit of 7% p.a. over rolling 3-year periods.
Investment strategy
Atrium's focus is on the level of risk within the portfolio. We seek to allocate to investments across a broad range of asset classes based on an assessment of their value and contribution to total risk and return.
Atrium can dynamically adjust the allocation to asset classes on an ongoing basis. By doing this, we seek to build a portfolio that can withstand changes in underlying market volatility.
The aim is to deliver a risk level in the Investment Portfolio that is consistent with the investment profile selected.
Building portfolios that smooth out volatility
Atrium’s Risk Targeted investment approach aims to offer investors a smoother investment journey. By challenging conventional thinking and allocating to a wide array of investments, we construct truly diversified portfolios that seek to maximise opportunity and manage risk.
During market downturns we focus on minimizing losses to help investors achieve consistent growth over the long-term with less volatility. This is important to us because we care about the entire investment journey, not just the destination.
Our disciplined process is underpinned by three core principles that have enabled us to effectively pursue our investment objectives over a long time horizon.
Focus on risk first
Seek consistency of returns
Seek to preserve capital

We give our investors the confidence to stay invested through the ups and downs of financial markets, providing peace of mind on your wealth building journey.

Illustrative Only
Case study: COVID-19
The first quarter of 2020 was a volatile period for markets as the COVID-19 pandemic started to spread around the globe. In line with our Risk Targeted investment philosophy, our portfolios focused on managing risk to limit drawdowns (i.e. the loss of investor capital), and on delivering more consistent returns for investors over the long-term. While returns were lower over the quarter as a result of the sharp market decline, the Atrium portfolios benefited from our genuine diversification, our dynamic asset allocation approach and a more defensive positioning entering this volatile period.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Volatility (% p.a.) | - | - | 4.32 | 3.92 |
| Sharpe Ratio | - | - | 0.84 | 1.00 |
What is volatility?
Volatility measures the fluctuations, or changes, in the price of an asset or market index. Assets with higher volatility generally have greater price changes, both positive and negative, and so higher volatility is generally an indication of higher risk.
What is the Sharpe Ratio?
The Sharpe Ratio measures returns relative to the volatility, or risk, that was taken to achieve that return. The higher the ratio, the better the risk-adjusted performance has been - in other words, the investment risks taken have delivered better returns to the portfolio.
Maximum drawdown since inception
What is maximum drawdown?
Maximum drawdown measures the largest fall in an asset's or market's price, from a peak to its subsequent lowest point. Maximum drawdown is an indicator of downside risk specifically - that is, it reflects the greatest loss of capital an investor may have experienced over the time period.
Performance in positive & negative markets since inception
Portfolio - Average monthly return
ASX200 - Average monthly return
What is up/down capture?
Up capture measures how an asset has performed in periods where the market return was positive, whereas down capture measures how the asset has performed in periods of negative market returns. Together, these measures provide an indication of how the asset has performed in both positive and negative market environments.

Atrium aims to achieve its investment objectives by investing across a range of asset classes on a global basis that provide exposure to different risk factors.
Each asset is included in the Portfolio for its ability to contribute to returns on a stand alone basis.
The investment universe comprises of 3 broad categories - Preservers, Growth Drivers and Diversifiers.
 | PreserversAssets that protect the portfolio during periods of heightened equity market volatility and preserve capital, such as cash, government bonds and high quality investment grade bonds. |
 | Growth DriversAssets that are expected to deliver higher rates of return over time with higher levels of associated volatility (risk). This predominantly comprises equities but also includes other assets that are highly correlated to equities such as listed property and infrastructure. |
 | DiversifiersAssets that generate additional real returns, with performance that is typically uncorrelated to the growth drivers and preservers within the portfolio.Importantly, they are a source of portfolio diversification away from equity market and interest rate risks, such as liquid alternatives and private markets. |

Market update
September offered a nuanced turn in the global macro regime, with investors oscillating between hope for policy easing and caution over sticky inflation and uneven growth.
The U.S. Federal Reserve delivered a widely anticipated 25 basis point cut in mid-September, reinforcing expectations of further easing into year’s end. Markets are now pricing in another 25-50bps of cuts by December and more through 2026. Economic data, however, continue to surprise to the upside: growth has remained resilient even as inflation lingers above target. Global bond yields reversed earlier declines, recalling bond volatility from earlier in the year. In “soft-patch” economies, especially Europe, growth momentum slowed amid export weakness and weak external demand, but domestic buffers helped prevent sharper downturns.
Equity markets generally held up well. The MSCI World index continued to rally, supported by multiple expansion more than earnings upgrades. In the U.S., tech and AI leaders remained relative outperformers. But valuation discipline is being tested, and volatility expectations have drifted higher.
Domestically, the Reserve Bank of Australia held the cash rate at 3.60%, signalling that further cuts are not off the table - but cautious given inflation risk. Macro data showed pockets of strength: Q2 GDP rose 0.6%, and household spending remained firm. However, consumer sentiment slipped ~3.1% in September, reflecting angst around cost of living. On the markets front, the S&P/ASX 200 dipped over the month, pressured by renewed bond yield fears and a rotation away from rate-sensitive sectors toward materials and mining.
September reminded us that central banks remain data-driven, not schedule-driven, and that the tug between disinflation hopes and growth surprises persists. The tailwinds from easier monetary policy and solid US corporate earnings growth outweigh concerns over inflation and optimistic valuations into year end.
Performance
The Portfolio advanced again in September despite mixed results in equities as liquid alternatives bounced back strongly driven by commodities markets and US equities. In the Portfolio’s equity allocations, global equities were up and hitting new all-time highs in various markets. The US market led the way and China, and other emerging markets were also strong. Australian equities declined, dragged down by the large mining stocks. The $A dollar rose against the US dollar and gold surged 12%.
In global equities, the Antipodes Global Fund outperformed its benchmark and the Hyperion Global Growth Companies Fund also outperformed as Tesla surged 33% on better sales and a large open-market stock purchase from CEO Elon Musk which buoyed confidence in the stock. Fairlight Small and Mid-Cap Companies Fund underperformed. Global listed real estate and infrastructure securities gained but lagged the broader market. In Australian equities, the Firetrail Australian Small Companies Fund rose strongly outperforming its benchmark, but Australian equities declined overall, and the Australian Equity Managed Portfolio underperformed. The Vanguard FTSE Emerging Market Shares ETF rose strongly led by its China allocation.
The Atrium Alternatives Fund posted a strong return, with P/E Investments Commodity Strategy and Crown Diversified Macro Segregated Portfolio both up sharply driven by the rise in gold. The Crown Atrium Segregated Portfolio was also up on the back of a tilt to global mining stocks. Trend following strategies had a good month with long positioning in gold and equities paying off. The LGT Lux Dynamic Cat Bond Fund was up as insurance spreads tightened.
Credit strategies within the Atrium Enhanced Fixed Income Fund also contributed positively with CQS Credit Multi Asset and the KKR Global Credit Opportunities Fund advancing on tighter credit spreads.
Portfolio changes
The equities allocation was increased early in the month, but option strategies were also added to within the Atrium Alternatives Fund to provide downside protection.
Outlook
The tailwinds from easier monetary policy and solid US corporate earnings growth outweigh concerns over inflation and optimistic valuations into year end. The Portfolio remains highly diversified within its equity and credit exposures and with a substantial allocation to alternative assets.
