Portfolio Framework

The SCALR Framework

SCALR is the lens we use to evaluate whether a portfolio — or a proposed transition into PMS or SIF — is actually built to last, rather than just built to perform in a single market cycle.

S

Stability

Can this portfolio absorb a bad quarter — or a bad year — without forcing a reactive decision?

C

Compounding

Is capital structured to actually compound over time, or is it being interrupted by unnecessary churn?

A

Alpha

Where is genuine, repeatable alpha coming from — and is it worth the additional cost, complexity or illiquidity?

L

Liquidity

What portion of the portfolio can be accessed, and how quickly, without forced selling at the wrong time?

R

Reserve

Is there a genuine reserve — capital held back from the growth engine specifically to fund the unexpected?

We use SCALR most actively when clients are considering a transition from mutual funds into PMS or SIF allocations — it's a structured way to test whether that move is warranted, rather than just aspirational.
