Investment process


The process is currency and fixed interest driven, with an asset allocation overlay. It will start by an assessment of macro factors that effect the bond universe, in particular: interest rates, inflation, current account balances, fiscal deficits and political issues. This will be supplemented by technical analysis of markets to provide a cold assessment of market trends. For this purpose the team will refer to four momentum indicators: MACD, bollinger bands, MA envelopes and RSI. Risk is defined as the prospect of an absolute loss. Derivatives will be used to neutralise mkt risk, or go short of market. The use of market derivatives is intended mainly as a means of managing risk i.e. minimising absolute losses. Currency exposure is likely to be limited to the four majors, it is not intended to be a major contributor to alpha.
