Mountain Pacific Group (click logo to view manager's website) Mountain Pacific Group (MPG) is an independent investment management company focused on assisting large, sophisticated institutions with attaining their investment goals and objectives. By leveraging sophisticated quantitative techniques, they manage a mix of highly scalable, alpha-seeking strategies to create customised, liability focused, adaptive solutions. MPG’s core competency is the ability to measure and manage financial risks, which is central to the management of their strategies. They add value by forecasting risk as opposed to the more traditional approach of forecasting return. This investment theme manifests itself in the portfolio construction process, which aides in enhancing returns and managing tail risk. Finally, their belief that encoding expert insights is more robust and scalable than relying on purely judgmental star / team approaches. This approach helps control behavioural biases in the investment management process, while engendering objectivity and control and was successfully employed by MPG’s founder, Ron Liesching, in the management of over US$50 billion of currency and global bond mandates at Pareto Partners, which he founded 1991. In Australia and New Zealand, Ambassador represents MPG in the following strategies: Active currency management; Commodity Alpha (an absolute return strategy); and Commodity Active (benchmark relative active commodities). MPG offers a highly differentiated, low risk and complementary approach to traditional active management styles. MPG provides: sustainable out performance, reduced left tail risk, active manager style diversification, and customised solution based investment management.
