BNYMIA’s investment approach is a team approach where portfolio managers and the research team share information to form a disciplined and consistent strategy that meets the client’s diversification, credit quality, liquidity and average weighted maturity requirements. The firm’s credit research function is fully independent from portfolio management and their dedicated research team employs a deliberately conservative policy, when evaluating individual credits, to help support portfolio credit quality and stability.

Blackfriars is an active manager which has specific expertise in emerging market equity and debt as well as in global fixed-income and currencies. Their portfolios are primarily long-only, however they also manage global long/short emerging market equity portfolios. The firm combines fundamental-driven, bottom-up stock selection with disciplined quantitative analysis in an investment process involving a three-stage filtering process. First an internally developed quantitative stock screener based on three inputs (a multi-factor model, a CFROI model and a technical model) identifies pricing anomalies, then a team of in-house analysts establishes their fundamental view of the value of these companies, after which they construct a portfolio with stock-specific risk.
