Benefits

Long term, absolute returns.

Our investment approach is built upon four pillars: fundamental, quantitative, global macro, and technical. We combine the fundamental knowledge of our in-house portfolio managers with the smart beta forces from the quantitative world. The output is then refined through the global macro lens and optimised via technical analysis tools. The result? Long term, sustainable returns

Unconstrained.

Our team's go-anywhere approach, unconstrained of traditional investment frameworks and benchmarks, means we're free to chase opportunity wherever it may lie, while aiming to achieve the client's risk/return profile.

Digitally empowered investment process.

Our proprietary developed screening and analytical toolkit uses a large number of complex factor and filter methodologies. Assisting our economists, portfolio managers and advisors to further enhance their macroeconomic predictions, to narrow down equities and fixed income universes, for next step in-depth analysis and to overall help optimise clients portfolios' risk / return profiles.

If you wish to benefit from an unconstrained, benchmark agnostic approach.

Four pillars of rigorous analysis.

We believe in going beyond mere ‘top down/bottom up’ methodology. Our approach is more thorough and built on four pillars of analysis: fundamental, quantitative, macro, and technical.

Fundamental

Fundamental analysis allows us to evaluate the intrinsic value of a security by discounting its future cash flows and compare basic ratios against a peer group.

Quantitative

We use our software, the Investment Toolkit, to process multi-dimensional data sets and extract important information about cross-asset correlations and lead lag effects among variables.

Macroeconomic

Macroeconomic analysis helps us forecast economic conditions that affect consumer and investment behaviour. We focus not only on national output, unemployment and inflation, but also on cross sector and inter-market relationships within the macro context.

Technical

Technical analysis helps us analyse price patterns and trading activity statistics of the different instruments/markets to assess the market timing component of the investment decisions.

The pillars in practice.

Fixed income

Our bond selection is carried out on the basis of two lines of analysis. First, at issuer level, we examine smart beta characteristics such as value, momentum, quality. Then, at the issue level, we look at the curve positioning.

Equities

Our equity selection utilises a proprietary methodology that focuses on smart beta characteristics combined with valuation matrics. We adopt a multi factor approach with a re-balancing option schedule that enables us to locate profitable opportunities.
