Overview

The GMO Multi-Asset Trust seeks to achieve a total return greater than that of its benchmark of 25% MSCI All Country World ex Australia Index Unhedged, 25% MSCI All Country World ex Australia Index Hedged, and 50% Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index Hedged, over a complete market cycle by allocating dynamically across asset classes.

The philosophy that underlies all of GMO’s Asset Allocation investment strategies is the belief that, at times and in the short term, the pricing of asset classes can deviate from true intrinsic value, but mean reverts to appropriate valuation levels over the long term. GMO’s proprietary 7-Year Asset Class Forecasts form the foundation of our investment process, providing a framework to assess the return opportunity embedded in different asset classes. We use that insight to allocate to what we believe are the most attractively priced asset classes. We also seek to add value through security selection within both traditional and alternative asset classes.
