Strategies & Mandates at Sunnov Investment
This page sets out how Sunnov organises its work with capital. Our platform is arranged into four connected families of strategies, ranging from core equity portfolios to complementary overlays and specialist structures for different types of investors. Each family has its own role, risk profile and governance considerations.
Rather than pushing a single product, we start by understanding where you sit in the investment chain, what constraints you face and how listed‑market exposure should support your wider objectives. The sections below provide an entry point into each strategy family; detailed information, examples and process notes are available on the dedicated pages that follow.
From choosing a strategy to running a live portfolio
The four strategy families are designed to work together rather than in isolation. Some investors draw primarily on the core equity desk; others combine equity with overlays, mission‑specific structures or regulated vehicles. What matters is that the brief is clear, the mix is deliberate and the way progress is tracked is agreed in advance.
Defining the investment brief
We turn objectives, risk appetite and constraints into a brief that sets the role, scale and structure of any strategy you select. This includes how it interacts with existing holdings and what success should look like over time.
Delivering the agreed solution
We implement that brief through portfolios or vehicles, combining equity, overlays and access routes with clear reporting commitments, so that day‑to‑day activity stays anchored to the original purpose.
