Capital Markets & Factor Investing
Diversifying in Global Markets
The Capital Markets and Factor Investing (CMF) department’s main goal is to give AURESTON flexible and efficient access to a wide range of global investments, including public equities, fixed income, currencies, commodities and derivatives. CMF achieves this by managing its own strategies, partnering with external investment managers, and by making co-investments in public markets. These investments add diversity to the Fund’s portfolio, providing returns that go beyond what can be achieved through traditional long-only alone.
