FFTW is an active manager which aims to opportunistically exploit structural inefficiencies that arise in global capital markets to consistently generate incremental returns relative to a passive benchmark. The firm constructs portfolios with multiple, off-benchmark risk exposures with low correlations to one another so that a single risk exposure has a limited impact on the overall portfolio. They believe that active management by market specialists located in the world's major financial centers increases return opportunities through superior security selection. In addition, they believe that total portfolio risk should be measured and controlled through the utilization of proprietary risk management tools built to specifically accommodate and enhance their investment process. FFTW's investment team consists of market specialists focusing on duration and yield curve opportunities globally, corporate credit, mortgages, asset-backed securities and foreign exchange. The firm's market specialists identify themes driving the returns in their sectors. Senior members of each market specialist team, along with FFTW's Chief Investment Officer, constitute the firm's Investment Strategy Group (ISG), which meets weekly to decide the firm's investment bias in each market sector. A dedicated Portfolio Team tailors the firm's investment strategy to each client's specific benchmark and guidelines. FFTW's proprietary analytical system for fixed-income, called PRISM, serves as the foundation of their portfolio management and risk control.
