Pictet has been advocating the benefits of diversified portfolios since 1805. Building on this tradition and to meet investors’ changing needs, we have developed a range of multi asset strategies, all of which deploy strategic and tactical allocation to generate attractive returns over the course of an economic cycle.
Over the past 50 years we have built a well-resourced multi asset investment platform which spans global asset classes and regions.

The evolution of our multi asset franchise
We manage a variety of investment approaches from traditional balanced to cash plus diversified growth strategies across a range of regional markets.
Key milestones in the development of Multi Asset at Pictet Asset Management
We believe consistently making the right asset allocation decision is crucial in generating returns.
The Pictet AM Strategy Unit (PSU) is an investment framework that comprises all our investment managers, strategists and economists.
Crucially it is an enabler, not a decider, of final asset allocation. Instead, based on the shared insight generated, we empower our skilled entrepreneurial investment managers to build local portfolios tailored to the needs of clients in each market.
The Pictet Asset Management Strategy Unit (PSU) framework unifies our portfolio managers
Central to the PSU’s activities is a structured analysis of the global market environment. We do this based on what we think are four key pillars when building multi asset portfolios: macro analysis, liquidity analysis, market valuations and market technicals.

We believe active management of asset allocation is the most important generator of returns.
