Excalibur Fixed Income

Excalibur Asset Management AB

Strategy Description

Excalibur Fixed Income is a fixed-income hedge fund relying on fundamental macro analysis and quantitative analysis of the relative value of money market and credit instruments to generate investment ideas. The underlying portfolio consists of highly liquid and transparent fixed-income instruments that are supposed to function well in both good and bad times. Through these transparent derivatives, the fund positions for the increase or decrease of interest rate levels or changes in interest rate curves. The fund also takes relative value positions both on country and contract level. In order to avoid concentration and tail risks, positions are spread between different themes and strategies. Excalibur Fixed Income has an absolute return profile, meaning that it aims to contribute positively in rising or declining interest rates and equity markets.
