Absolute Return strategies
Over the last few years investors have faced a challenging investment environment in which to find returns. With the extreme volatility caused by the credit crunch, the subsequent fight back by world governments and central banks, quantitative easing, market rallies and pull-backs, uncertainty continues to be a feature of many asset classes.
With all this uncertainty and with interest rates at historic lows, many investors have been keen to add some stability to their portfolios. Absolute return investing offers an attractive opportunity to help achieve stability by aiming to generate positive returns regardless of market conditions. Within absolute return strategies, managers can express their views through a variety of financial instruments and have greater flexibility to convert their skills into performance in a precise, timely and cost effective way, free of the constraints associated with using an index. Absolute return investing offers a diverse range of potential investment opportunities.
Our extensive research capability and the experience of our investment teams mean we are well placed to take advantage of these opportunities within a framework of careful risk management.
