Revealed: A ‘Secret Sauce’ to Institutional Investment


Somebody asked me the other day what I thought the ‘secret sauce’ was for a successful pension or sovereign fund. My initial reaction was to say that the question was asking for a bit of a ‘reductio ad absurdum’. But, if I’m honest, I actually quite liked the mental gymnastics of picking a single factor that could make or break a fund over the long term.

And here’s what surprised me even more: I actually know the answer. In fact, it’s really quite obvious...it just took someone asking me a simple question for it to come to mind.

But before I tell you what it is, take a guess. What do you think the lynchpin of a successful public pension or sovereign fund is? If your answer is different from mine….
