Academics, economists and thought leaders in our industry agree: Diversification across traditional asset classes simply is not enough to grow - or even sustain - assets over the long term.

Balentine's unique Building Blocks approach to asset management helps bridge the gap between what is possible in the markets and what is necessary to help you achieve your investment goals. Unlike traditional asset allocation, our Building Blocks approach is built with a foundation of expected risk (versus expected return). Our five unique building blocks and not only help insurance against “tail risks,” but provide investors with a better chance of sustaining today’s spending needs against the need to preserve or grow capital in real terms in the future.

Our five blocks are described below:

	LIQUIDITY Liquidity assets insulate near-term spending needs while protecting against interest rate and credit risks
	SAFE ASSETS Safe Assets protect against interest rate fluctuations, credit risks and unanticipated movements in inflation
	MARKET RISK Market Risk assets seek to capture broad market returns while protecting against sovereign risks and shifts in global economic performance and currency valuations
	MARKET SKILL Manager Skill assets are allocated to active, successful managers who seek to generate excess returns
	PRIVATE CAPITAL Private Capital assets are invested to achieve excess long-term returns while also providing insulation from volatility in broad financial markets
