FX & Rates Overlay

Managed Account

Investment Objective

The FX & Rates Overlay program aims to generate a consistent source of return from global currency markets and interest rates. We only invest in G10 FX markets (although we can add additional Emerging Market currencies in a higher risk program) and major bond markets. Our underlying philosophy is that repeatable market behaviour is present in this markets that can be exploited over the long term. Construction of data driven fundamental and economically based strategies using a model based foundation results in a set of efficiently managed high quality positions. With the discipline of a systematic process the FX & Rates Overlay can be rigorously maintained in a single effective risk management framework.

Investment Strategy

We use a rigorous research process to discover repeatable market behaviour in currency and interest rate markets. We develop multiple strategies that are naturally diversifying via the markets in which they invest, time horizon and underlying economic and fundamental data they use. Each model uses an underlying fundamentally driven premise to build relative value positions in a set of G10 currencies or views on global interest markets or across single yield curves in developed countries. Each model is adjusted to take equal risk as assessed by our proprietary AlphaSelect risk model. The combined portfolio is then adjusted to target risk that meets the client risk objectives for a tailor made solution.
