Credit Indices: Closing the Fixed Income Evolutionary Gap

Fixed income markets are evolving with smarter electronic trading protocols, automated investment strategies, and greater availability of useful data. But fixed income indices have yet to adopt many of these advances. That creates a liquidity gap between fixed income indices and the funds that track them.

Are Factors a Thing of the Past?

There is a common misconception that Factors are a thing of the past, when actually, our data shows Factors matter now as much as ever! In today’s volatile markets, taking a deeper look through the lens of factors is critical to making informed decisions.

Leverage does not equal risk

Does higher leverage always imply higher risk? Not always – leverage can also be used to improve diversification and risk-adjusted returns, while minimizing the concentration in a portfolio.

Out of the Shadows: The Revolution in Shadow Accounting

Without clean portfolio data, how confident are your analytics and investment decisions? Every institutional investor needs to establish a reliable Investment Book of Record (IBOR)—but this often requires cumbersome and duplicative workflows. Luckily, new technologies are unlocking efficiencies and quickening speed-to-insight.

The pivotal role of fixed income markets in the ESG revolution

The role of bond investors will be important in the transition to the green economy. Are we at the start of an ESG bond revolution? Discover why ESG-labelled fixed income market could potentially grow to USD 60 trillion.

Highlights from Invesco's CMAs: Prepare for higher inflation and the return of pre-pandemic risks

Invesco's 2022 Capital Markets Assumptions (CMAs) shows the global economy outlook is shaping up to be a lot brighter. However, risks remain as pre-pandemic challenges begin to resurface. The 2022 CMAs cover our top findings for the year ahead as well as some key insights for asset owners in 2022.

Trends and Prospects in Carbon Analysis of Investment Portfolios by Institutional Investors

This study focuses on the carbon-related analysis, rapidly developing under practical initiatives. This reviews the development in four stages: concept formation, voluntary disclosure, TCFD compliance and new indicator development. Also, objectives of the analysis, proposed indicators, and challenges are reviewed.

Creating an Industry Standard Approach to Document and Data Management

Alternative and private markets often create significant operational complexity for investors, allocators and asset servicers alike. While headcount is shrinking, client needs are expanding and compliance burdens are increasing. It’s a difficult problem that only a blend of technology, innovation and expertise can solve.

A customized approach to ESG doesn’t have to be expensive

Many investors are finding that off-the-shelf approaches are not meeting their organization’s unique ESG needs. This case study explores how Invesco created a suite of ESG mandates which track custom-built indexes for a large US-bank, focusing on specific environmental and social issues.

Fixed Income: Preparing for the Big Shift

Our latest research explores four major trends transforming fixed income portfolios: the move to indexing, an increase in ETF use, ESG as a mainstream component, and emerging market exposures.

Industry Momentum

While stock momentum, which goes long past winners (and short past losers), is the basis for many factor indexes, industry momentum has been largely ignored. In this paper, we show the existence of industry momentum within a broad global universe and investigate its relationship with stock momentum.

Research Management Systems: Powering Productivity for Modern Investment Management

Bipsync partnered with Coalition Greenwich for the second year in a row to deliver a new study into the complex investment management process, and to analyze how Asset Owners and Managers are using Research Management Systems to enhance efficiency.


Investment Portfolio Excellence: The Conviction of One Truth

New research from SimCorp and Chartis exposes a widening gap between organizations that have access to real-time, accurate data across their portfolios – or One Investment Truth - and those who don’t have this holistic view.

A Smoother Path to Resilient Outcomes

While the challenges facing US pensions receive widespread attention, solutions do not. With the pension system likely to come under further strain as more workers enter retirement, asset owners need to think outside the box and move away from the traditional allocations that have patently not worked.

Portfolio Protection: One Size Fits None

The importance of employing both explicit and implicit protection strategies to address different types of crises.
