About UsPartners PortfoliosPortfolio InsightsDrummond Capital Partners are a multi-asset investment manager providing institutional grade portfolio management under the transparent and efficient managed account structure. The firm was established in Melbourne in 2017 and is owned and managed by the investment team that has a combined 100+ years of investment experience.
At Drummond, we believe in the power of asset allocation as academic evidence shows this is the primary driver of long term returns. We invest considerable time and resources into both strategic and tactical asset allocation which combined with our proprietary manager research deliver high quality, risk aware portfolios.
The Drummond Investment Philosophy is centred around the belief that markets are not always efficient in the short term. By minimising potential for losses in weak periods, we believe the compounded growth will be superior over time, creating a better investment journey.
We believe in active management both at a portfolio level (tactical asset allocation) and within the asset classes, seeking to identify which sub-sectors have persistent opportunities for outperformance (alpha) and seeking to find those managers best positioned to generate alpha over time.
