Coolabah Active GLOBAL Bond Strategy
Coolabah Active Global Bond Fund
Daily Liquidity, Long Duration, Global Strategy
Overview
The Coolabah Active Global Bond Fund targets returns in excess of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Index (hedged to AUD) after management costs, by 1.0% to 2.0% per annum over rolling 3 year periods.
The Fund offers an active fixed-income strategy focused on mispricing in corporate bond markets with the aim of delivering superior risk-adjusted returns. The Fund has the ability to go long and short credit to profit from declining and increasing credit spreads.
The Fund offers fixed-rate bond exposure by matching its interest rate duration to that of the Index.
Coolabah adds-value by finding and exploiting bond mispricings in high grade credit markets that can generate capital gains or alpha in addition to the yield on these securities.
To find these mispricings, you need a very large team coupled with significant quantitative resources, which is why we have over 47 executives, across Sydney, Melbourne, London and Auckland. It is also why we have built up to 40-50 proprietary quant valuation models in house and harnessed AI to help us in our search for mispricings.
Exploiting these mispricings to generate capital gains also requires a very active investment style. We are typically trading 50 to 100 times a day, on average $250-500 million per day.
Investments
The Coolabah Active Global Bond Fund provides exposure to a diversified portfolio of cash securities and bonds, including government bonds, bank bonds, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities including residential-mortgage backed securities, and hybrid securities issued in G10 currencies hedged back to AUD, with an average target credit rating of A. It cannot invest in equities, property, unrated securities, high yield bonds or sub-prime loans.
Applying a diverse array of quantitative asset pricing techniques, the portfolio managers add-value through very actively exploiting bond mispricings that seek to generate capital gains over and above the yield provided by the underlying fixed-income assets.
