Practical example/Case study

Requirement

Seeking optimisation of the core bond portfolio with integration of ESG objectives, without increasing the overall risk of the portfolio.

 

Our proposal

Revision of the bond portfolio by integrating cross-over elements (bond exposure to investment grade and high yield securities), adding exposure to emerging debt, while improving the overall ESG rating of the bond portfolio.

Expertise mobilised

  • The ability to improve the ESG rating of a portfolio while maintaining the potential return without increasing the tracking error[1] compared to the benchmark.
  • Financial engineering to model and backtest[2] a newly constructed portfolio
  • A wide range of diversifying investment solutions

 

[1]  Tracking error is a statistical measure of the dispersion of the fund's excess returns around the mean, i.e. the volatility of the difference between the fund's returns and its benchmark. A higher tracking error indicates a greater deviation from the benchmark.

[2]Backtesting consists of testing the relevance of a strategy using a large set of real historical data to verify how the portfolio would have behaved if it had been launched earlier.

A wide range of investment themes

We open up all of Candriam's investment universes, from traditional financial instruments to the real asset classes proposed by Tristan Capital Partner in real estate and Kartesia in private debt for an optimal balance of your management.
