Investment process
The core of the investment process is the Investment Committee, comprising of a group of experienced managers and analysts. All decisions are taken by consensus and executed in a disciplined and transparent manner. Client interests are safeguarded by strict internal controls combined with state-of-the art risk management systems.
Risk management
The Risk Management Division plays an important role in the control process of investment risks. Through the use of specialised risk management systems, the Division assesses and ensures that trading is performed in a risk-controlled manner within strict regulatory and internal limits. Daily risk reports are provided to internal investment committees, to the company’s Board of Directors, as well as to the Regulatory Authorities. Stress tests are continuously exercised and extensively analysed, providing insight to the funds’ and investment portfolios’ behavior under various stress market conditions.The Risk Management Division also plays an essential role in the formulation of the policy for the evaluation of the assets of all portfolios under management. The Division is also responsible for risk/performance attribution, namely return analysis in relation to investment risk. Furthermore, the Division performs daily risk controls for the Special Purpose products for which it also develops evaluation models, whilst it applies Risk Budgeting procedures to the Absolute Return funds.
