  Maximize return for a given risk level

  Minimize risk for a given return target

•Long-term orientation

  Neither “buy-and-hold” nor “day trading”

•Incremental return from inefficient markets

•Global opportunity set

•Portfolios should be tax-efficient when appropriate

•Diversification is most effective risk management tool
