In the current environment of low interest rates and steep equity and bond valuations, many investors are being forced to take on more risk than they would like in order to achieve their targeted returns. It is with that in mind that we decided to develop our equity premia investment strategy, which aims to generate stable returns that are decorrelated from the equity markets and from interest-rate fluctuations.

Premia are risk premiums with distinct features in terms of value, momentum, quality, size, security and management and that offer various sources of remuneration on the equity markets.

To meet our objective of stable returns with moderate volatility, we exploit six of these premia via a systematic risk-based approach that produces portfolios with long and short positions, with the goal of a near-zero beta.
