Sustainable.

We are guided by the simple belief that sustainability drives future returns: companies with a combination of sustainable financial models, business practices and business models will drive excess returns. Recognised as a corporation committed to driving sustainability, we were the first global wealth and asset manager to obtain a B Corp certification.

 

our approach to current investment challenges.

negative yields.

Fixed income investors are currently facing historically low or negative yields, as well as receiving increasingly limited return from lengthening duration.

Solutions: Our fundamental fixed income approach offers a range of systematically-constructed portfolios that focus on issuers with strong fundamental credit quality and attractive valuations, designed to overcome the shortcomings of traditional market-cap weighted debt indices.

At the mandate level, we tailor investment solutions for institutional clients that take into account specific requirements, such as yield enhancement, rating limits or lower turnover for buy and maintain. Bond investors could consider the crossover space in corporate credit (between BBB and BB ratings) in order to improve returns for a moderate increase in risk.

emerging markets.

We believe investors should look to emerging markets within a low yield environment. These developing economies have transformed over the past few decades, with current volatility in line with Europe.

Solutions: Our Asia value bond approach aims to tap into the opportunities of USD-denominated debt issued by Asian borrowers. Other emerging market offerings include our Asia High Conviction and Emerging High Conviction equity strategies that seek, through disciplined rigour, the most sustainable investment opportunities within their respective universes.

rising uncertainty.

The investment landscape is currently characterised by increased uncertainty arising from factors such as geopolitical tension and trade disputes.

SolutionsConvertible bonds are well-suited to uncertainty as they give investors the potential to capture equity returns with less volatility, and a capital floor. This asset class enables investors to participate in the upside of share rises but the bond feature protects them from the downside.

For investors seeking to reduce interest rate risk, money market offerings such as the Ultra-Low Duration strategy provide a high level of liquidity and protection, and a risk free yield in volatile market conditions.

sustainable opportunities.

The transition to a more sustainable economic model will create boundless opportunities for forward-thinking companies to gain market share and prosper, while also creating completely new business models. This revolution is influencing how investors, companies, regulators and asset managers behave.

Solution: We put sustainability at the heart of our investments across asset classes, from convertible bonds to Fundamental fixed income and equities.  This approach also runs through our bespoke solutions services, and is tailorable for portfolio needs and specific requirements.

 

 

core institutional client base.

Pension plans

Defined benefit and defined contribution schemes are at an important junction. Low interest rates, demographic changes and unclear economic growth continues to offer challenges. The importance of cost management and integrating responsible investing is also gaining momentum from both a regulatory and member perspective. At Lombard Odier IM, we recognise these challenges and believe our product range, alongside our expertise, can help pension schemes.

 

Insurance

At Lombard Odier IM, we understand the impact that new regulations and market volatility can have on our life and general insurance partners. We believe these institutions are increasingly open to exploring new opportunities, and our experience can help manage this unique challenge of what we call ‘the need for asymmetric return profiles’; by targeting a strong upside with a dedicated focus on downside risks.

 

Endowments

With over 223 years of experience, we at Lombard Odier IM continue to successfully help our partners invest for the long-term. We appreciate the importance of providing investors with a high level of bespoke investment advice for the best possible service. Our heritage and boutique size offers a wealth of experience and the agility to help our partners  weather downturns, endure bull markets and withstand crises.

Alongside our investment advice and expertise, our in-house systems, developed throughout our investment platform, provides tailored services for enhanced reporting and transparency.
