OUR PRINCIPLES FOR PORTFOLIO ALLOCATION

Uncorrelated returns

Investing into strategies with low or negative historical correlation to traditional markets with high and steady returns

Original Approach

The investment objective of the AMC is to achieve long-term capital growth by investing across the fixed income asset spectrum, inclusive of investment-grade and high-yield credit, convertible bonds, securitized assets including mortgage- and asset-backed securities, and developed and emerging market sovereign debt, seeking total return including a high level of current income. To help achieve this objective, the strategy combines a top-down macroeconomic assessment to determine optimal beta positioning for the portfolio, with rigorous bottomup fundamental analysis and active currency management.

Diversification

The portfolio is composed of the ideas in their niches and fields and diversified by strategy, sector, geography and instruments.

Impact investing/sustainable projects
