Investment Philosophy
The investment philosophy of H2O is based on the conviction that diversification is a stable and robust source of alpha over time. From this perspective, the H2O Multibonds Strategy seeks to take advantage of as many opportunities as possible in the global bond, credit and currency investment universe.
Process
The H2O Multibonds Strategy is managed on the basis of a highly responsive macroeconomic analysis of global bond and currency markets. As part of their resolutely top-down approach, the Strategy will take long or short directional positions in the various asset classes, as well as relative value positions aimed at taking advantage of the trend in one market segment relative to another. These strategies are supplemented with specific overlays, involving the selection of securities within each market segment and trading positions.
Portfolio Fit
Suitable for investors looking for a top down, global macro biased manager to complement a traditional fixed income portfolio, with an appetite for opportunistic credit alpha.
Currency
