HAGIM CIO Series
It’s all about Selection
The HAGIM CIO Series combines the most attractive investment opportunities from different credit segments into tailored client portfolios. The portfolio construction is centred around fundamental credit analysis and bond selection, so that our experts can identify the best issuers and instruments for a sustainable and solid performance.
The Best of all credit segments
Tailored credit solutions
The strict separation between Investment Grade and High Yield or the geographical segmentation of bonds in developed and emerging markets, is not always ideal for the investment objectives of institutional investors. When constructing portfolios, we focus on the best of all credit segments in order to achieve our clients’ investment objectives.
The three pillars of the HAGIM CIO Series

Quality
We identify attractive credit investments through independent and in-depth credit analysis.
Every decision is evaluated against the clients’ individual risk parameter and return target – not benchmark weightings. Recurring returns and portfolio stability guide our decisions.

Diversification
Different market segments provide distinct risk and return characteristics and by allocating across global credit markets, we achieve robust diversification and attractive risk adjusted returns.
The CIO Series also takes regulatory and accounting requirements into account, carefully combining various credit risk factors to achieve a good balance between return and stability.

Predictability
Our target is to generate regular investment returns that are comfortably higher than the actuarial interest rate of our clients. To achieve this, we rely on high quality credit risk profiles that guarantee stability and predictability, as well as an optimised portfolio structure that minimises transaction costs.
