Alpha Generation In High-Grade Global Fixed Income
The Intellectual Edge: Making Every Basis Point Count...
Coolabah Capital Investments is a leading global active fixed-income manager with over NZ$23 billion in funds under management.
Coolabah’s edge is in alpha generation in liquid, high-grade global credit and sovereign securities in contrast to traditional fixed-income strategies that drive returns through adding more interest rate duration risk, credit default risk, and/or illiquidity risk (or “beta”). This alpha is a function of the world-class analytical insights rendered by Coolabah’s human capital, which includes 63 executives with a long-term track-record of delivering prescient macro and quant insights.
