INVESTMENT APPROACH

Three Pillars
of Expertise

Our investment approach combines directional, relative value and derivative trading strategies designed to deliver orthogonal but complementary return streams across a broad range of investment solutions.
We differentiate our investment process via our three core pillars of expertise in macro thinking, trade structuring and risk management.

1

Macro Thinking

Global macro research serves as
the backbone of our investment
process.

2

Trade Structuring

We seek to structure convex
trades, where the upside
potential significantly outweighs
the downside.

3

Risk Management

Our risk management process
focuses on maximising potential
returns while protecting capital
invested.

01

Macro
Thinking

Research & Analysis

We leverage our global network of independent and
critical thinkers to support our research process.

Debate & Challenge

We encourage information flow and transparency
throughout the firm, maintaining a community of
creative, free-thinking investment professionals where
original and differentiated thought is encouraged, and
views are challenged.

Non-Consensus

We believe in the power and value of contrarian
thought. Intellectual humility, flexibility and imagination
are critical to long term success.

02

Trade
Structuring

Structuring trades with inherent asymmetric P&L potential allows us to better understand the probabilities of different outcomes as priced by the markets and create attractive risk-reward outcomes.
We create asymmetry using options and option-like trading structures, as well as through the disciplined use of stop losses.
Views on optimal trade structuring are discussed and debated alongside market views. Team members are encouraged to leverage each other’s particular skills in trade structuring across various markets in order to enhance outcomes.

03

Risk
Management

Art & Science

Risk management is a combination of art and science
that is managed both quantitatively and qualitatively.
We apply a rigorous, and often forensic, focus on detail.

Not Simply a Control Function

Risk does not act in a silo and is instead integral to each
portfolio manager's investment process and portfolio
construction. Each portfolio manager has a bespoke
risk mandate and a designated risk manager, assigned
to work in close collaboration.

Focus on Stress Tests & Scenario Analysis

Our proprietary bank of stress tests have been
developed over almost two decades and is
continuously updated. These tools allow us to examine
tail risks and mitigate potential loss scenarios.

03
