Investment Grade Credit

Capture the return potential of corporate bonds

Quoniam’s systematic investment grade credit strategy offers professional investors a compelling route to excess returns through a balanced, data-driven approach that enhances diversification, lowers drawdowns, and adapts dynamically to market conditions—all within a transparent and risk-aware framework.

Our research shows that both fundamental and quantitative approaches can outperform their benchmarks over time, but that the sources of this outperformance are different. Investors can take advantage of these diversification benefits by adding a multi-factor strategy to their credit allocation. This will lead to more stable overall credit portfolio performance and unlock new sources of outperformance.

Tapping into scientifically proven sources of return

Our investment grade credit strategy combines the factors value, momentum and carry. These factors have proven to be statistically significant indicators of alpha over many years of research and form the basis of our forecasts. We apply a model-driven, quantitative process that can consistently and objectively calculate factors for the global bond universe.
