System Research

Diversified Bond

Quantitative strategy providing exposure to various sectors within the Fixed Income universe. The model invests exclusively in fixed income ETFs.
The strategy uses technical and fundamental models to screen for the most attractive sectors of the fixed income universe. Sectors include junk bonds, investment grade corporate bonds, US treasuries, municipal bonds, mortgage backed, and emerging market bonds.
The strategy, through proprietary quantitative screens, determines the most attractive opportunities for investment. Research looks primarily at economic factors that have causal relationships in driving interest rates, credit spreads, mortgages etc.
The portfolio can be invested across multiple sectors but can also take a concentrated view and be 100% invested in a single sector.
Positions are initiated and closed based on the output of the quantitative screening methodology.
The strategy is systematic/mechanical and therefore expects to fully adhere to the model buy/sell recommendations.
