Ossiam is an active manager which designs investment strategies based on quantitative models and fundamental research and structures funds which integrate liquidity, tradability and representativity, ease of implementation and transparency into the investment and development process. Their management team has expertise in systematic trading strategies, quantitative research and management, multi strategy fund, fund of funds and structured funds management. The firm’s product range provides access to strategies with variable risk profiles (long only, long/short, variable exposure, guaranteed capital) across all asset classes (equity, fixed-income, currency, commodities, inflation linked). To implement the strategies and monitor all risk indicators and fund performance parameters, they are transposed into rules-based strategy indexes calculated by an independent calculating agent or index provider. Their Equal Weight Strategy aims to provide investors with a more diversified exposure to a given stock market, avoiding domination of a small group of stocks in the index (concentration effect). The minimum Variance strategy is an investment approach that seeks to enhance portfolio efficiency while reducing volatility by forecasting future level of risk associated with different stock combinations and integrating this information to construct a lower-risk portfolio. Their Risk Weighted Enhanced Commodity Strategy offers exposure to the asset class with better participation from all commodity sectors (avoiding concentration in oil) and a more efficient risk allocation in a global portfolio.
