Sustainability Investing
We integrate ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria into the majority of our investment processes, for fundamental and quantitative strategies over a range of asset classes. We’re convinced that this approach leads to better-informed investment decisions and is therefore vital in creating value for our clients.
Quantitative Investing
We’ve been leading the way in quantitative investing for over 25 years. With our experienced research and investment teams, systematic exploitation of market inefficiencies and strong track records, you can rely on us to deliver superior investment returns.
Credit Investing
At NF we have a long history in credit, having been investing in corporate bonds since for years now. Today, we run an extensive range of fundamentally managed credit portfolios that are all based on in-depth research and a contrarian outlook. We also offer our clients a number of quantitative credit strategies.
Emerging Markets
Our first emerging markets equity strategy was launched in 1998 and has regularly been improved by investment process enhancements. We have continuously built on our experience through innovation, also with respect to new product launches. For example, all our strategies have incorporated quantitative models since 2001. We offer a wide range of emerging market approaches, and our track record of innovations shows we only launch strategies that have been successfully tested.
Price And Values
The fourth inefficiency that we consider is the market’s tendency to focus on high-quality growth stocks, which can lead to excessive valuations. To avoid investing in overvalued companies, we apply a deliberate value tilt by seeking to identify undervalued stocks whose earnings potential is not yet fully appreciated by the market. SFM analysis is integrated into investment processes of all of our emerging market capabilities, as we consider many SFM factors to be strong leading indicators for long-term earnings.
