Investment
Philosophy
Baring Asset Management's investment philosophy is based on the
premise that by combining growth and valuation disciplines, they
can generate superior long-term risk-adjusted returns.
Equity
Philosophy
Baring Asset Management's equity process focuses on markets, sectors
and stocks with the greatest earnings growth surprise. They seek
companies, sectors and markets whose attractive growth prospects
are not fully reflected in their prices. They also seek to avoid
stocks where either the earnings potential is largely discounted
(torpedoes) or where the low valuation reflects their view of future
earnings disappointment (value traps).
Their process incorporates:
- An
emphasis on value added from all sources of alpha, including security,
sector, country and currency decisions
- An
innovative methodology for looking at the varying impacts of country,
sector and stock specific factors on individual companies
- A
rigorous research framework to identify the most attractive opportunities,
enhanced by qualitative analysis to reach final decisions
- Risk
control techniques that enable them to align their investment
conviction with their portfolio construction
- Efficient
execution, with low dispersion, and automated pre- and post-trade
compliance monitoring and order processing
Fixed
Income Philosophy
Baring
Asset Management's fixed income process strives to uncover unrecognized
value in Fixed Income markets and sectors by:
- Applying
a distinct top-down approach across their fixed income range
- Using
multiple scenarios to discipline investment decisions
- Taking
bold positions in extreme situations to mitigate downside risk
Their process incorporates:
- Detailed,
top-down fundamental analysis across the fixed income range to
uncover opportunities and to understand where consensus is positioned.
- The
development and analysis of different scenarios to ensure robust
portfolio construction and focused decision-making, specifically:
Uncovering all potential drivers of bond and currency markets
Assessing what has been discounted in the market to enhance performance
Identifying when markets move to extremes, and taking bold positions
to enhance return and mitigate downside risk
Protecting against the downside risks associated with the uncertaintly
of single forecasts, without losing the potential for alpha
- Specific
Portfolio Construction Groups across our product range which focus
research, decision making and accountability into smaller more
specialised teams
