ABOUT THIS STRATEGY
The strategy's absolute return objective and broad global opportunity set grants the portfolio managers flexibility to express their investment insights that are not constrained by traditional fixed income benchmarks. This flexibility transcends the breadth of the global opportunity set to include cash bonds and structural alpha strategies. Structural alpha strategies may include relative value strategies and directional trades. The investment process is decidedly topdown in approach. The portfolio managers formulate their strategic and opportunistic views across different countries, currencies and sectors, translate those views into portfolio exposures that represent highest conviction ideas, and implement them through cash or derivative instruments.
