Investors are increasingly taking notice of convertible bonds. Their hybrid nature combines the defensive characteristics of traditional bonds with the upside potential of stocks.

Engage with our team of specialists to benefit from their experience in managing global convertible bonds and other asymmetric & convex investment strategies. Build a diversified portfolio to meet your desired risk/return profile and seek to use short-term valuation distortions to maximize returns.

Choose between three strategies:

• Investment grade (high credit quality, stable value retention)
• Dynamic (high performance potential, broadly diversified)
• Balanced (focus on “true” convertible bonds, delta stability)
