Investment approach
In the spirit of a multi-boutique, IMC asset management does not have a centralized and uniform investment approach. Each team is responsible for the design and implementation of its investment strategies.
The US & European Structured Debt teams share a common approach employing a fundamental, value-oriented strategy focused on deep and thorough analysis leading to relative value decisions and active risk management. In this, they are supported by proprietary state-of-the art technology.
The European Investment Grade team applies a dual analysis approach to assess fundamental credit quality and relative valuation factors separately. The synthesis of the findings generates our best ideas.
The European Sub- Investment Grade team also employs a fundamental analytical approach primarily to identify investment opportunities undervalued by the markets often due to their complexities and generally illiquid nature.
The Behavioural Quantitative Multistrategy team takes positions in publicly traded instruments, focusing on the most liquid futures, stocks and currency pairs. Investment decisions are based on data and models that describe the behaviour of homogeneous groups of investors, building on years of proprietary research of the principals.
