A better way
to invest in credit

Research proves it: For institutional portfolios, a systematic multi-factor approach offers greater diversification in terms of the investment universe and a better risk-return profile than traditional fundamental approaches.

Asset owners often manage their own bond portfolios or outsource them to traditional fundamental managers. However, both approaches may not tap into the breadth and depth of the full global universe and return sources. A data-driven, factor-based approach can open new potential for bond portfolios, complementing traditional fundamental approaches.
