Integra Investment Funds

At Integra, we offer a full array of multi-manager and single-manager investment funds. Many Integra Funds are designed using a multi-dimensional diversification approach where selecting and combining the right mix of asset classes, managers, styles, and cap sizes is crucial. Other Integra Funds are single manager and single mandate specific.

We are constantly searching for new investment management firms from around the world that utilize innovative investment strategies and repeatable investment disciplines. By adding new investment managers, or changing existing investment managers when appropriate, our Integra Investment Funds ‘evolve’ in line with changing global best practices.

Our ongoing oversight of fund managers includes monitoring results, assessing adherence to investment style, and detailed attribution analysis. Style integrity is confirmed on an ongoing basis by meeting with the investment management firms frequently, reviewing their investment strategies and processes regularly, and using technology-based analytic tools to monitor portfolio content, risk, and return attribution. In addition, on-site compliance audits are conducted on a regular basis to ensure their adherence to, and compliance with, regulatory requirements.
