Infrastructural Superiority: In-House Trade ExecutionUnlike most of our peers, who manage portfolios under the traditional model of outsourcing their prime brokerage, we strongly believe that this function must also be performed in-house.
The ability to exercise control over pricing sources and maintain direct access to markets gives investors unparalleled freedom of choice. Our strong ties with the local liquidity providers form a wide and efficient alternative liquidity net of more than 700 counterparties worldwide that we use to achieve reliable pricing. This approach has proved itself to be especially effective during stressful times, when asset liquidity drains fast and becomes a highly desired market resource.

Our special expertise in high yield and emerging markets fixed income helps us make event-driven investments, while other markets and strategies contribute to our ability to provide consistent absolute returns. Unbiased Global Approach To InvestingThere are neither regional concentrations in our global allocations, nor are there national ties or priorities given to any specific segment. The only solid decision-making criteria directs funds under our guidance is the risk tolerance of our respective investors for the expected reward.

Capital At CallTypically, we work with investments that are made with a strong preference for liquid financial instruments, where two-way markets exist at all times.
