What is Efficient Fixed Income Beta?
Clients have been telling us that they are not getting satisfactory fixed income returns from either their passive or active managers. Efficient Beta is our way of approaching this challenge, focusing on fixed income areas where we can address these inefficiencies and deliver beta in a systematic and disciplined way.
The first thing we do is identify the inefficiencies. Where they are material we believe we have a solution. The goal is usually delivering the index which typically gets you top quartile performance but also doing it in a highly liquid and cost competitive structure.
