How the Portfolio Process Works

1. HERMES Research

Identifies major geopolitical, economic and market themes for the month. Example themes may include AI infrastructure, defence spending, space economy, energy security or interest rates.

2. HERVE Risk Review

Assesses what could go wrong, including market valuation risk, recession risk, geopolitical shocks, currency risk and concentration risk.

3. HERCULES Allocation

Converts research and risk assessment into a capital allocation plan, deciding how much to invest, where to allocate and how much cash to hold.

4. HERA Reporting

Records portfolio decisions, trade notes, monthly performance, review dates and lessons learned.

Example Starting Allocation

Broad Market ETF

AUD $400

AI / Technology Theme

AUD $250

Defence / Aerospace Theme

AUD $200

Cash Reserve

AUD $150

This is an example allocation only. Actual portfolio decisions are recorded monthly and may change based on research, risk and market conditions.

Each month, the portfolio review will record:

  • What HERMES identified as key themes.
  • What HERVE identified as key risks.
  • What HERCULES recommended for allocation.
  • What actions were taken.
  • What the portfolio gained or lost.
  • What will be reviewed next month.

Scaling the Same Structure

Each future portfolio uses the same process. The only difference is the size of the capital allocation.

How Investment Decisions Are Made

Hergemony Capital uses a structured investment process designed to separate research, risk management, capital allocation and portfolio administration. Each system performs a specific function before a final portfolio decision is made.

System Role Question
HERMES Research & Intelligence What opportunities exist?
HERVE Risk Management What could go wrong?
HERCULES Capital Allocation Where should capital be deployed?
HERA Reporting & Administration How is performance recorded?
Portfolio Manager Final Decision Maker Should the recommendation be approved?

The Hergemony Intelligence Framework does not execute trades automatically. Instead, the systems generate research, risk assessments and allocation recommendations. Final investment decisions remain the responsibility of the portfolio manager.
