Portfolio management

Structured products, ABS, corporates, high yields, emerging markets and derivatives are just some of the investment options that have come into play for VAG investors. The necessary portfolio management know-how has to be assured when investing in these products to increase returns or reduce risk.

By outsourcing their asset management, VAG investors can invest in products without having to build up their own internal portfolio-management expertise. Large asset-management companies employ special teams whose sole task it is to analyse credit risks in order to cover corporate bonds und asset-backed securities. Derivatives specialists develop and evaluate hedging concepts for single products or the entire portfolio. Quantitative specialists are needed to realise guaranteed products or portfolio protection concepts. Outsourcing enables investors to acquire this expertise at less cost.
