Equity
Equity-linked investments have been at the heart of our client solutions since the company began.
Usually linked to the performance of major equity indices, these derivative investments offer highly customisable risk-return objectives and are typically used to deliver outcomes such as fixed or enhanced returns or income at defined levels of risk and reward.
Autocalls
Autocalls offer the potential of a fixed capital return if the indices to which they are linked are at or above their starting level on given dates. They can also be configured to pay an income.
The more popular version of an autocall carries the "Defensive" prefix as the level the index needs to reach before a return is made typically falls over the life of the autocall. This means a defensive autocall could provide a positive return in a falling market.
Typical structure for a defensive autocall linked to the performance of one or more equity indices:
Fixed Income
Our fixed income solutions give investors the potential to shape investment returns, duration and credit risk to meet their needs, while providing liquidity and access to companies and indices that might otherwise be difficult to trade.
Our offering is centred around the provision of credit-linked-notes (CLNs) but also includes trades linked to CMS and Bond Re-Packs.
Hedging
As derivative specialist we have a deep understanding of volatility, both actual and future, across a variety of asset classes. It is an integral part of what we do every day.
This allows us to build strategies for our clients that are designed to mitigate risk in their portfolio or funds by creating and shaping specific hedged positions across currency, duration and equity markets.
We also use hedging strategies in the Atlantic House Balanced Return Fund
Access
Want Exposure to Markets or Asset Classes that are Difficult to Access Efficiently?
Access or "Delta-1" investments aim to provide investors with exposure to asset classes they otherwise find difficult to access, as well as offering structuring solutions to logistical challenges investors face. Examples would include short-mid term Dividend Trackers, IPD Property Index and client specific Stock Baskets which can be traded in Note form more efficiently than the stocks held directly.
We also use some Delta-1 strategies in the Atlantic House Balanced Return Fund
Mandates
While mutual funds offer a convenient solution for many investors, shrinking resources, complex regulations and ever-changing markets are creating a demand for outsourced investment solutions.
Our collaborative approach is focused on understanding the unique challenges, beliefs and goals of our clients and building innovative, flexible and bespoke investment solutions tailored to deliver to their precise outcomes.
Our experience of building separate accounts and investment mandates means we can offer insights and advice to meet your specific return objectives, risk tolerances and liquidity requirements. All of which is supported by bespoke and transparent reporting and servicing.
Our team of relationship managers will be delighted to meet with you and explain our approach in detail.
