Our approach
In our view the active management of convertibles is best achieved by a dedicated, specialist team that has the experience to exploit the many inefficiencies that are inherent in the market. The team adopts both a top-down and fundamentally driven, bottom-up approach with the flexibility to invest across a global opportunity set to help capture these inefficiencies and pricing anomalies.
Potential benefits
As a liquid alternative, our convertibles-based strategies can have numerous advantages when included in a balanced portfolio.
Key risks
