Our investment philosophy
Our mission is to generate consistent, high-quality outcomes through a systematic process that validates fundamentally oriented market insights with quantitative research.
Our systematic approach to fixed income offers several key benefits for clients:
Minimal biases
Insights with minimal bias are applied across securities as models improve and are enhanced with more data over time.
Wide portfolio breadth
Unlimited by the constraints of human attention and processing capability, we can monitor thousands of changes in metrics, prices and market conditions daily.
Defensive orientation
Systematic strategies tend to reduce downside portfolio risk, offering defense return characteristics during equity market downturns.
How does BlackRock’s Systematic team seek an edge in markets?
We believe that an investment process underpinned by continual innovation is vital to our goal of delivering sustainable alpha to our clients.
