Strategies

Overlay management

We offer versatile overlay management solutions to help investors actively secure the value of their assets. Our approach relies on extensive overlay management solutions from the fields of quantitative research, model trading and advisory services. Our service portfolio includes asset classes with liquid hedging instruments, whereby the hedging strategy is implemented regardless of the underlying baseline risk.

Along with risk overlay, we also pay special attention to currency overlay in the management of currency risks. One of the primary dilemmas faced by investors is whether to hedge their currency position or not. Put simply, would they rather risk a potential devaluation or accept potential loss of liquidity due to hedging. Currency overlay offers a viable alternative to the two alternatives mentioned above. Instead, risks can be hedged where necessary and the opportunities presented by the currencies can be utilised.

Benchmark concepts 

We specialise in developing strategies to help our customers outperform market benchmarks with a systematic and controlled approach. When coming up with strategies, we place great value on transparent and logical decisions in the investment process.

In terms of stocks, we rely on a mix of allocation decisions on market segments and individual stock-specific selection criteria. We focus on developed markets with this approach. In terms of bonds, our team uses a scorecard developed in-house to assess the bond market and position portfolios accordingly. We focus on European investment grade strategies.

Multi asset 

Our multi asset investment strategy offers investors the opportunity to diversify their portfolio across several global asset categories and multi asset styles, merged under the umbrella of one consistent investment process. In addition to conventional asset categories such as stocks, bonds and money market instruments, we also offer liquid alternative asset categories like currencies, commodities, volatility and REITs. All mandates can be structured according to investors requirements, including, for example, customer-specific exclusion lists, sustainability aspects, thresholds and risk budgets.
