This proprietary systematic investment technology isn't just some software; it's the core intellectual property (IP) that drives their alpha generation across their assets.

It’s the systematic process - using data and advanced analytics to pick global stocks and corporate bonds - that underpins their entire product offering.

Imitability is high because the technology is deeply embedded, not just a black box you can buy off the shelf.

They have a large investment team - \u003cstrong\u003e120 people\u003c\/strong\u003e - with over 100 holding advanced analytic degrees, meaning the human capital is organized around the systematic process.
