Blackfriars is an active manager which has specific expertise in emerging market equity and debt as well as in global fixed-income and currencies. Their portfolios are primarily long-only, however they also manage global long/short emerging market equity portfolios. The firm combines fundamental-driven, bottom-up stock selection with disciplined quantitative analysis in an investment process involving a three-stage filtering process. First an internally developed quantitative stock screener based on three inputs (a multi-factor model, a CFROI model and a technical model) identifies pricing anomalies, then a team of in-house analysts establishes their fundamental view of the value of these companies, after which they construct a portfolio with stock-specific risk.
