Marktposition und Zielkunden
JPMAM is a chosen investment partner to corporations, governments, foundations and individuals globally. We manage money for many of the world’s leading banks, insurance companies, asset managers and advisory firms, providing investment insights which allow them to thrive in today’s fast moving markets.
Our core business is the management of segregated and pooled accounts for large institutional clients, which represents the majority of our
business.
Allgemeine Investmentphilosophie
JPMAM has a transparent investment philosophy, with common factors that apply across all products and processes:
-
Global Research: We create an information advantage through qualitative and quantitative research undertaken by our dedicated team of investment professionals based around the globe.
-
Risk Controls: We avoid taking positions and incurring risks in areas where we do not believe we have an information advantage.
-
Innovation Guided by Essential Principles of Investing: We commit substantial resources to continuously improving the investment process while adhering to the basic tenets of our investment philosophy.
Our approach to managing money is driven by three key principles:
-
Breadth and depth of choice: We offer expertise across every major financial asset class - equities, fixed income and cash, and also alternative asset classes like managed currency and hedge funds in order to offer investors an unrivalled choice of products covering the full risk/reward spectrum;
-
Multiple investment processes: We don’t believe there is one single way to deliver investment performance. We therefore offer a range of distinct but complementary investment approaches across different markets;
-
Disciplined and team-based management: We have developed proven, transparent and disciplined investment processes to manage our investment funds, which rely strictly on team-based research, stock picking, portfolio construction and risk management. While making full use of the individual strengths and insights of our investment professionals - and expecting full accountability from our named fund managers - we look to team-based management to ensure consistency of investment style at all times.

Bottom-up, style-driven process:
We aim to exploit persistent market inefficiencies that have arisen due to human behavioural biases. Evidence shows that sustainable outperformance can be achieved by systematically investing in stocks that are attractively valued, are high quality, and have positive momentum. Combining these three styles in a single portfolio potentially further improves consistency of outperformance.
Disciplined active management:
Rigorous bottom-up stock selection is the key to our process. Our investment process is based on the rigorous application of style analysis, fundamental research and disciplined and formal risk control and execution.
Team approach:
A clear and disciplined team approach to portfolio management ensures that information on stocks is discussed openly and reflected appropriately in our portfolios. This means our clients benefit from the expertise of all our 43-strong established investment team.

Kompetenz des Hauses bezüglich Wandelanleihen Strategien
JPMAM has been managing convertible portfolios since 1995. We aim to provide our clients with a full range of investment opportunities across all major products and asset classes, and view the Global Convertibles product as an attractive investment opportunity, given its diversification and attractive risk profile and its reduced exposure to market declines in relation to equities. The asset size has progressively increased since inception in 1995 and our aim is to continue focusing on delivering excellent performance for our clients.
There are three key factors that differentiate our investment process from that of our competitors:
To make the most of convertibles, it is important to invest with a provider that has the experience and expertise to harness the investment opportunities from all over the world in a changing market environment. At JPMAM our experienced, dedicated team are real specialists in the asset classes. We have better coverage than our competitors with investment professionals located in regional markets around the world.
One of our main competitive advantages is our people and team structure. Our dedicated global convertibles team sits with Multi-Asset Solutions team and shares information. This stands out amongst our competitors who often operate on a “silo” basis, with equities, convertibles and other fixed income products being managed by entirely separate teams with no interaction, or in small teams with limited resources.
Our dedicated global convertibles team has experience in managing these specialist instruments with a strong focus on security selection and underlying equity valuation. The investment process employed has been tested and refined through market cycles and the track record of our longest running global convertible fund has allowed us to successfully launch and market the strategy all over the world.
In addition, we are very skilled at managing multi-asset portfolios. This differentiates us from most global convertibles houses, which tend to specialise within a small team or have expertise just in equities or bonds. We have brought together our multi-asset expertise in the portfolios that we manage.

The Group currently manages $26 billion in AUM* across separate accounts, commingled funds and focused strategies and benefits from the support and broader resources of J.P. Morgan.

The platform offers flexibility and customization to investors along with the capability to construct customized collaborative solutions. Additionally, we believe the Group is uniquely positioned due to a number of factors:

-
Ability to construct opportunistically diversified PE portfolios, track record of consistent style and approach through due diligence across multiple cycles

** The co-investment percentage for PEG professionals is calculated across PEG’s platform of products and accounts, and may be greater or less than 1.25% for any particular one. The allocation percentage is reviewed each calendar year, and on an aggregate level it has been at or above 1% for the past 10 years and is expected to remain at or above this level going forward. The co-investment by PEG professionals in a particular product or investment may be limited or discontinued if required by law or policy.

Kompetenz des Hauses bezüglich Emerging Market Strategien
We are fortunate to be leaders in both the emerging markets equity and emerging markets debt asset classes. Ourstrength comes in part from the close co-operation between the two teams and having a dedicated portfolio manager who is responsible for building a single portfolio.
The scale and scope of our global expertise, coupled with a disciplined investment process in which we leverage local insights to better understand fundamentals, valuation, and technical drivers of each country and company, we believe, sets us apart. We believe we are uniquely able to combine macro views, security selection and risk management to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns. We can demonstrate skill over long-periods in both asset classes, through our successful track record across a range of global and regional emerging markets strategies, and through a variety of market environments.
We believe the Total Emerging Market strategy is differentiated from our peers based on the following:
Our extensive experience of investing in both emerging market equity and emerging market debt.
-
JPMAM is a leading specialist in emerging markets with over 45 years of investing in EMAP equity and over 20 years of investing in emerging markets debt.
-
The strategy is managed by seasoned emerging markets specialists.
-
Supported by 98 investment professionals (as of 31 December 2017)
We research the full universe of opportunities with unique coverage of countries, sectors and securities.
-
We conduct over 5,000 company meetings each year, covering over 40 countries and research over 1,600 securities. We believe this breadth of coverage and experience of the investment professionals affords us unique insights across the emerging markets’ capital structure.
-
Global presence allows us to gain greater insight into the emerging economies within Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and Asia.
A disciplined investment process with strategic asset allocation and rigorous risk control.
-
Multi-dimensional, disciplined investment approach that combines country and thematic views with our best security ideas.
-
Significant flexibility to move to either an 80/20 equity/debt weighting or vice versa.
-
Risk management embedded in every step of the investment process.
-
The strategy has historically achieved strong risk-adjusted returns.

In June 2016, JPMAM expanded its commitment to developing our capabilities and offerings in the traditional market cap beta, strategic beta and alternative beta space with the creation of the Beta Strategies Group under the leadership of Michael Camacho. The new group was set up to complement JPMAM’s existing franchise in the active and alternative space. Reflecting the importance of this newly created group, Michael Camacho is a member of the Global Asset Management Operating Committee and reports directly to Chris Willcox, the CEO of J.P. Morgan’s Asset Management business.
The Beta Strategies Group is responsible for managing a wide range of products across all asset classes, in both long-only and in long-short. In long-only, this includes passive replication of standard indices and replication of customised indices (developed in partnership with index providers using our research and intellectual property). We are also able to implement portfolios directly without the use of an external index provider, currently including our long-short “alternative beta” strategies where we follow a rules-based systematic approach.
Growing the Beta business within JPMAM is one of the key strategic priorities for the firm in the short-medium term. As a result, we have been beneficiaries in terms of investment into personnel and technology. Since 2016, we have significantly added to resources in the research and portfolio management team as well as to other functions such as the Beta Specialist team and the embedded technology team. Where necessary, e.g. in Strategic Beta Fixed Income and in passive Fixed Income portfolio management, we have hired externally to fill specific requirements.
Our goal is to build a very scalable platform in order to achieve our asset raising growth plans, which includes significant investment in the technology infrastructure to enable our portfolio managers and research team to benefit from state-of-the-art systems.
