IFM is an active manager which believes that asset allocation is the most important decision in any client's portfolio and devotes more time to select the right asset class than to determine if a passive or active manager will be used. Investors may delegate all or part of their asset management to them. The firm's investment analysts use professional sources to screen for future trends and market dislocations, determining the investment solution which offers the best return/cost potential. They utilize low cost index trackers when they believe that active management will not add any value and use specialist managers to provide access to specific niches. If valuations for IFM's potential investment opportunities look attractive, analysts make a case study on the viability of the investment as well as to which investment approach (active management or index replication) will deliver the best results. The investable universe for the Ikano All Seasons Fund consists of equity, bond, cash, real estate and commodity securities. The fund is denominated in euros but currency overlays are performed as well. The Global Equity and European Equity funds' pre-defined investment universes are worldwide equities and European equities.
