A true absolute return strategy, it employs a dynamic range of time-tested fixed income strategies to seek returns of €STR index + 2%, no matter the market cycle. These include yield curve trades, long/short directional plays and arbitrage strategies that seek relative value.
The philosophy
A clear, rigorous and disciplined investment process
Reasons to consider
A flexible mandate and the use of derivatives means that the strategy can effectively modify its duration, from -3 to +7. This means the strategy aims to perform strongly in both inflationary and deflationary environments and can be a sound long-term investment across multiple cycles.
The strategy aims to maintain a hard limit of 5% ex anté volatility. This is done through analysis of the macroeconomic situation, and careful security selection based on the team’s proprietary risk/return ratio.
“With a strong focus on multi-strategy, flexible and international bond management, we have built a strategy that aims to deliver in all market environments”
