It is our philosophy that through the combination of rigorous modelling and extensive market knowledge, we are able to deliver results that live up to our mission of delivering best-in-class, high risk-adjusted returns.
We are an active asset manager, with an ongoing dialogue with issuers. This lies the foundation of our in depth analysis of issuers and markets. We have a strong emphasis on investment discipline and a continuous and consistent process. The investment universe is clearly defined and the focus is solely where there is a proven competitive advantage.
From an asset allocation perspective, we aim to provide a strategy that offer strong diversification benefits to long-term asset portfolios.
It is our belief that we can make a positive impact and contribute to a more sustainable future. Investing responsibly can enhance returns and make the portfolio more robust, with reduced volatility in the long run. Thus, we have a bias towards ESG-labeled bonds and issuers we deem to contribute to a more sustainable environment, supporting social welfare and with strong governance in place.
