Investment policy statement
The investment policy statement communicates the investment goals & serves as a guidepost for ongoing management of the portfolio. It creates the necessary guard rails so that risk limits are not busted in ‘good times’.

The review and execution mechanism
Investment approach
Once the investment policy is clear, we work out the appropriate portfolio based on the investment objective and horizon. This involves:
Selecting the right asset class
From multiple money market funds, sovereign bonds, AAA securities, ETF, liquid and ultra short funds, as also other asset classes based on the risk preference.
Creating the bucketed approach
Based on the investment horizon and goals, we focus on a 3-bucket approach for fixed income investments. This approach looks at creating a judicious blend of ‘cushions / insulators’ + ‘flexible strategies’ + ‘yield enhancers’ which may be required to navigate volatile markets. This ‘3-bucket’ approach includes:
Places to “hide” 
Manage duration risks 
Yield enhancers As an illustration, these could include ideas that avoid near-term mark to market impact such as debt-oriented or long-short AIFs, market-linked debentures and rate reset-ideas.
This bucket may offer tranche entries into medium to long term, Government of India Securities/ State Development Loan roll-down strategies – essentially a prudent mix of high-quality accrual with reducing duration risk instruments.
This bucket refers to those ‘yield boosters’ such as Marked-linked debentures, Alternate Investment Funds and other strategies.
Constant monitoring and reporting
We constantly monitor the investment to ensure that the risk is within controllable limits. A dedicated platform enables reporting of the investment and a consolidated view.
