BAM believes that investment performance is strongest when discretionary management experience is combined with AI techniques and Alternative Data sources. These strategies include Machine Learning algorithms for selecting assets, predicting market patterns and to target enhanced risk/adjusted returns.
The strategies are designed to produce stable long-term capital growth in all market environments and apply to a wide range of liquid and less liquid asset classes including crypto, equities, bonds, FX and credit.
BAM considers that sustainable or ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) investment criteria are essential to address the world's challenges such as climate change, increasing population and environmental destruction over the next few decades.
BAM offers several investment programs for professional investors ranging from highly liquid long/short equity and CTA futures strategies to crypto currencies and leveraged loans. These programs offer different target return and risk characterisitics and correlations to major asset classes.
Investments are offered in the form of portfolio managed accounts ('PMAs') to institutional and professional investors. PMAs offer position-level transparency for investors, high liquidity and an extremely competitive fee structure. Clients have a choice of high quality brokers and custodians to remove counterparty risk and to provide security.
