Investment universe1
Current market dislocations are creating an attractive environment for strategic and tactical allocations that aim to maximise income and growth opportunities. Strategic asset allocation serves as a solid foundation, focusing on the expected long-term returns across a broad range of asset classes. Tactical asset allocation, on the other hand, seeks to capitalise on short-term market dynamics.
Our proprietary strategic, tactical, asset allocation and rebalancing strategy aims to provide income and the potential for capital appreciation by tapping into a broad opportunity set of asset classes.
To cope with the economic challenges of COVID-19 pandemic, global central banks have provided significant amounts of stimulus to economies and liquidity to capital markets. Negative-yielding debt has become prevalent amidst the lower-for-longer interest rate environment. We believe income-oriented asset classes, such as higher-yielding and income-generating securities, should remain attractive to investors and therefore remain well bid.
A growing portion of the global fixed-income market is negative-yielding (trillion US dollar)2
The strategy aims to adopt a differentiated approach of achieving yield, minimising reliance on equity appreciation – primarily seeking yield from fixed income and an option writing strategy.
The option writing strategy generates premiums and aids drawdown management for a better downside-capture profile.
Traditional and non-traditional income sources tend to be less correlated3
Despite their high directional correlations with markets, complementing call and put writing strategies, between themselves, offer uncorrelated income sources4.
