Investment Strategies

Our strategies cover the whole spectrum and bespoke solutions for institutional clients.

Overview

Since 1994, we've actively managed investments for clients with a focus on long-term results. The fundamental belief that investing can be both financially and socially rewarding is why responsible investing has been at the core of our business since the start.

25+ years experience

Today, we draw on decades of asset management experience, backed by macroeconomic insights and in-depth company analysis, to help our clients reach their goals.

Broad range of strategies

Whether you're looking to generate income, preserve and grow capital, or offset the impact of inflation, we can help.

Explore Fixed Income

Fixed income can help preserve capital, generate regular income, and offset market fluctuations over time.

In today's low interest rate environment, fixed income can provide new investment opportunities.

Backed by research

We look at macroeconomic trends and perform in-depth company credit analysis.

Investing responsibly

Our proprietary scoring system feeds ESG data directly into our portfolio management tool, which managers use daily.

Tailored to your needs

Put cash to work with short duration bonds, or trade more risk for higher returns. Whatever your needs, we can help.
