Investment philosophy
We believe in a transparent, research-based approach to investing, built on the findings of our in-house research team.
We invest using a fully systematic process, favouring a limited number of uncorrelated, risk-controlled factors that have been shown to drive alpha: value, quality, momentum and low risk.
Investment process
Our Multi-Factor Corporate Bond strategy follows a systematic process that relies on proprietary research:
- Creation of the investment universe
- Calculation of factors
- Bond scoring
- Bond selection and portfolio construction
