Investment Philosophy
KWAP will pursue both active and passive investment strategies in investing of the Fund. Generally, KWAP invests its Fund directly in its approved asset classes. In addition, KWAP outsources a portion of its Fund to be managed by external investment managers for the purpose of diversification and peer comparison. KWAP will always and whenever possible, refrain from investing in companies principally engaged in alcohol, tobacco, gaming and manufacturing equipments primarily designed or designated for military purposes.

Strategic Asset Allocation
KWAP has adopted Strategic Asset Allocation (SAA) as a key element in the investment decision making process. The importance of having an appropriate SAA is crucial in terms of deploying capital and fund to asset classes which best demonstrates the most optimal risk return trade off. It is a well known and empirically proven fact that asset allocation is the prime driver of investment performance compared to market timing and security selection.
