Polymetis (Πολυμετις) was a standard Homeric epithet
associated with Odysseus both in The Illiad and in
The Odyssey. It is derived from the combination of
poly (many) and metis (skill, wit, cunning, or plan). As
such, polymetis carries a variety of connotations,
including resourceful, multi-talented, and well-rounded.

What We Believe
The value of using alternative investments properly has increased in this new
global environment of political, economic, and financial uncertainty
The risks of using alternative investments inappropriately have increased in a new
global environment
A successful alternative investment program requires a meaningful commitment of
time and expertise, the allocation of appropriate resources, and substantial
experience
Alternative investments are appropriate only in the context of a long-term
investment program with reasonable goals and defined objectives
A number of commonly-held assumptions and beliefs about investing in
alternatives have been proven wrong

What We Think
A successful alternative investment program requires a set of well-defined,
highly-organized, dynamic learning structures developed from expertise and
experience over time
The investment process must continually use feedback to adjust not just the
state of knowledge but the actual process of gaining that knowledge
The main focus of any manager evaluation must be on the 6 Ps: people,
philosophy, process, procedures, performance, and portfolio
Historical understanding and current perspective are useful only to the extent
they support an outlook on the future
Insight and research are useful only if they can be transferred to the client in a
timely and user-friendly fashion
