Turning market movements into a source of returns
Market moves can be smooth or sudden, fleeting or long-lasting. At times, they may unsettle investors. But for alternative investors, they represent opportunities. Our extensive market experience has taught us that any shift in the market – no matter how unpredictable – can be harnessed to generate returns. That’s why we continuously monitor and analyse data across a wide spectrum of asset classes, striving to understand their behaviour and anticipate future trends. By implementing a diverse set of uncorrelated strategies across different asset classes and time horizons, we seek to maximise diversification and enhance portfolio resilience.
Various investment universes, distinct approaches, and a similar objective
Our two core long/short directional strategies are deployed across different sets of asset classes:
- Our first strategy is systematic. Implemented on a multi-asset spectrum - interest rates, bonds, currencies and equities – it is also diversified across models and investment horizons. This multi-faceted approach provides greater resilience in different market conditions.
- Our second strategy, a directional long/short credit, operates mostly in the corporate high yield universe, and blends fundamental and quantitative approaches. Fundamental long/short trades aim to deliver alpha by capturing different parts of the credit cycle. Additionally, quantitative long/shorts implemented within the bond capital structures identify opportunities arising from market dislocations. With this strategy, you can attempt to derive performance from credit markets, that is lowly correlated with credit markets.
As long as there is a trend, its direction hardly matters. Our approaches are specifically designed to detect and capitalise on market trends, be they upward or downward. In fact, market movements of any kind are exactly what we seek, as they create the conditions needed to generate potential returns when you need them most.
Thanks to their low correlation with traditional asset classes, long/short directional strategies can strengthen portfolio resilience, particularly through protection against extreme market events.
Our strategies are backed by decades of expertise. A research team supports portfolio managers by designing and developing proprietary models to identity and capture opportunities. Their analytical rigour, deep experience and creative problem-solving are essential to achieving our performance objectives.
