  • Multi-Asset Income

    Assetbridge Multi-Asset Income Fund (“The Sub-Fund”) was launched under Assetbridge AIF V.C.I.C. Ltd. Subject to the Sub-Fund’s strategy, the investment management team will evaluate and invest across asset classes in global fixed income, equities, alternative investments, and inflation protected real assets to capture attractive risk/return opportunities while earning attractive income from interest and dividends. The Sub-Fund will invest in investment grade government and corporate bonds, high yield debt, equities, global listed real estate and infrastructure, secured loans, exchange traded or in other type of closed-ended funds. Positive performance is expected to be generated through a combination of carried interest, trading gains, and capital appreciation through opportunistic investments across asset classes. By investing across the investment spectrum, the Sub-Fund aims to achieve diversification, generate attractive risk-adjusted returns with a lower correlation to traditional balanced strategies, offering an alternative investment solution with lower volatility.

    To implement the strategy the investment management team will employ a value-oriented approach through top-down and bottom-up fundamental analysis. The Sub-Fund may overlay the portfolio with moderate macro hedging to reduce overall market risk when market volatility is expected to exceed normal ranges. The target performance is in the single digit returns with a volatility profile lower to traditional balanced funds. Investors will have the choice to invest in a EUR or USD (Hedged) share classes.

Solutions and Methodology

The Fund navigates through the global financial markets by building strategic core portfolios optimized by quantitative strategies.

CREDIT ALLOCATION

The investment management team has an expertise in the global credit markets; the markets where companies and governments offer debt to investors in the form of investment-grade and high yield bonds, short-term commercial paper, loans, securitized obligations such as collateralized loan obligations (CLOs), and asset-backed securities. Sectors of the credit market historically offered superior risk-adjusted returns; equity-like returns with half the volatility to that of equities. The investment management team follows a rigorous approach to analyze credit.

CREDIT AND QUANTITATIVE ANALYSIS

Cornerstone to the Fund’s methodology is the implementation of a detailed credit analysis framework to evaluate the ability of borrowers to honor their financial obligations. Robust portfolios can only be constructed with the use of the key elements of modern portfolio theory. The investment management team is managing risk effectively by utilizing quantitative financial methods in its investment approach. Diversification, mean variance optimization, regression analysis, are some of the tools used by the team interchangeably to achieve the best risk-reward outcomes

MANAGED ACCOUNT SOLUTIONS

Under the Umbrella Fund, customized sub-funds can be created based on clients’ particular risk constraints and return objectives. Sub-funds in a managed account format can be structured with hedge fund characteristics to exhibit statistically significant alpha and lower market risk with small exposure to traditional risk factors. These solutions can offer diversification to long-only portfolios due to their lower correlation to traditional asset classes.
