We think differently. Our investment philosophy centers on the belief that regimes drive both market sentiment and opportunities.
We are a multi-asset investment platform built on the integration of fundamental insight and quantitative innovation. We employ a top-down led investment process, with leading-edge quantitative and fundamental regime identification processes integrated into any product or solution.
Our approach is complemented by a sophisticated bottom-up relative value security selection framework designed to ensure portfolios are responsive to both broad market shifts and idiosyncratic opportunities across the capital structure.

While our research and investment process incorporate AI and/or machine learning models, the investment decisions are made by the Alpha Strategies team. As AI models make predictions based on defined datasets and assumptions, their results carry a risk of being skewed due to error and bias. The use of AI automation does not equate to accuracy or objectivity.
