The team uses a state-of-the-art, in-house quantitative platform which enables them to provide in-depth studies adapted to clients’ specific needs.
Opportunities
Our innovative Cross-Asset solutions focus on the following three pillars:
- Investment theme-related
- Opportunities to participate in megatrends (e.g. “Car of Tomorrow”, sector disruptions)
- Opportunities arising from specific events (e.g. reforms, elections)
- Liquid, stable return strategies aiming at providing absolute and relative outperformance by using diversification
- Across different asset classes
- Through a risk premia-oriented approach
- Hedging strategies offering portfolio protection against market downturns with a cost-effective approach compared to a static hedge.
Investment philosophy & process
Whether dedicated or commingled, each Cross-Asset solution is efficiently constructed by relying on:
- A highly liquid and scalable investment universe.
