Our focus is to help you build a diversified, solid portfolio that is prepared for different market scenarios. One of the most effective tools to achieve this is systematic funds.
What are systematic funds?
Systematic funds are investment vehicles that are managed through quantitative models and automated rules designed to identify market opportunities without emotional intervention. These models follow strategies based on historical data, statistics and asset behaviour patterns.
Unlike traditional management, where a manager makes discretionary decisions,systematic funds decisions are executed according to pre-set algorithms,which reduces human error and improves consistency in decision making.
Why invest in systematic funds?
Real diversification: Integrate multiple strategies, assets and geographies. Discipline and consistency: Remove emotion from the investment process. Adaptability: Adjust quickly to market changes. Perfect complement to traditional investments such as stocks, bonds or fixed income. Access to sophisticated strategies without the need to be an expert in active management.
Where do they fit into a diversified portfolio?
Systematic funds are considered part of alternative investments, along with strategies such as private fixed income, loan notes and structured products.
In a diversified portfolio, their role is to: Reduce correlation with traditional assets. Increase the portfolio's resilience to shocks or volatility. Seek risk-adjusted returns, even in difficult economic environments.
In short, systematic funds can act as an intelligent layer of protection and complementary performance, optimizing the risk-return balance of your portfolio.
