Credit Suisse Investment Partners is an asset manager specializing in asymmetric and convex investment strategies with a focus on global convertible bonds. The company consists of an established team of specialists with many years of investment experience and expertise.
Credit Suisse Investment Partners (Switzerland) Ltd. was founded in 2020 by Credit Suisse Asset Management (Switzerland) Ltd. and AgaNola Ltd.
With this new company we are expanding our successful partnership in the convertible bond segment. Credit Suisse Investment Partners combines the convertible bond business of Credit Suisse Asset Management and AgaNola. This combination creates a leading and dedicated Swiss convertible bond specialist based in Pfäffikon, Canton Schwyz.
Thanks to their high-performance, risk-adjusted returns and a dynamically growing supply, convertible bonds have increasingly become the focus of investors in recent years. Their hybrid nature combines the defensive characteristics of bonds with the upside potential of stocks.
We actively manage broadly diversified portfolios of convertible bonds. Our goal is to optimize the risk-reward profiles. In order to exploit short-term distortions in valuations, for example, we also take into account special situations as an attractive source of alpha, such as company takeovers, dividends, spin-offs or other corporate actions.
We offer three different strategies:
The fund offers access to an actively managed portfolio that invests in pure convertible bonds with a predominantly defensive risk profile (investment grade).
The fund enables an actively managed exposure to convertible bonds with a focus on optimized convexity across the entire spectrum of convertible bonds.
The fund enables an actively managed exposure to convertible bonds as part of a dynamic investment strategy that incorporates equities as well as creditworthiness and volatility on a globally diversified basis.
The fund’s investment objective is to achieve capital appreciation through opportunistic investments with a long bias in the global market for fixed-income investments.
The investment group’s objective is to achieve a reasonable total return in CHF taking risk diversification and capital security into account. The portfolio invests primarily in convertible bonds with high credit quality and stable bond floors.
