Our goal is to produce consistent excess returns versus the benchmark for our clients. To do this, we utilize a conservative alpha investment process that combines a top-down market view with bottom-up corporate fundamental analysis.
Our corporate bond portfolios feature a beta–driven risk orientation, typically resulting in highly diversified portfolios by sector, ratings and issuers.
Top-Down Approach
Driven By Our Credit Market Outlook
Our credit market outlook is based on our view of where euro credit markets are heading over the next three months. This outlook is constructed with input from all team members and is expressed by a proprietary score based on three equally weighted pillars.
- Fundamentals
- Valuation
- Technicals
Bottom-Up Security Selection
Current & Future Trajectory of Creditworthiness
Security selection is based on our assessment of the following factors:
- Strengths and weaknesses of business model and strategy
- Quality of management team
- Threats and opportunities to profitability stemming from economic, technological, regulatory and/or competitive developments
- Liquidity profile given projected financials
- Levers management has at its disposal to influence balance sheet strength and the probability of their use
- Priority that management places on ESG factors
