Strategies

Convertible bonds & Fixed Income

The Convertible bonds & Fixed Income strategy seeks to achieve long term capital appreciation primarily by providing investors with exposure to global fixed income and equity markets. The strategy aims to combine bottom up security selection with a macro asset allocation and focuses on active and discretionary portfolio management techniques with the aim of identifying and capturing valuation anomalies while keeping a high degree of portfolio diversification. While the strategy calls predominantly to take long positions, it retains the flexibility to occasionally take short positions in specific securities for hedging purposes or to capture opportunities offered by volatile markets.

Innovation & Sustainability Equity

The Innovation & Sustainability strategy leverages the firm’s deep knowledge of the global technology sector, to provide investors with exposure to this rapidly growing and evolving landscape. The strategy uses a sustainability lens to analyse the technology opportunities, only investing in companies that demonstrate the required responsibility from an Environmental, Social and Governance angle. The strategy primarily looks to invest in technological disruption that provides solutions to many sustainability issues that we face today. The strategy invests globally, with a focus on midcap equity in Europe and America. It is an equity long-bias strategy which uses market hedges to limit volatility while taking advantage of large long-term secular trends in the global economy.

Global opportunities

The Global opportunities strategy is opened to multiples asset classes and is focused on global developed market equities with a long bias. It combines a top down approach to portfolio construction, with fundamental analysis and a rigorous investment & risk management process aimed at identifying best-in-class investment ideas across multiple sectors.
