The overall objective is to maximize rates of return within reasonable and prudent levels of risk through extensive diversification. The investment philosophy of the SIF is to create a management process with sufficient flexibility to capture investment opportunities and at the same time maintain risk and diversification at reasonable levels to ensure prudence and care in the execution of investment program.It should be recognized that in order to achieve the return objectives risk taking will be inevitable. SIF risk taking policy, consistent with the modern portfolio management theory, is that risk cannot be eliminated, but should be managed efficiently and prudently, consistent with the level of return expectations. SIF will strive to maximize the rates of return while managing the volatility of the returns and minimizing the risk of large losses through extensive and prudent diversification.The target is to provide a total return in access of 1% above the S&P 500 and the risk not to exceed that of the S&P 500.
