Outright credit trading
These strategies involve purchasing or selling a short credit instrument based on a view of the direction of the credit spread and/or price of the security.
Relative value credit trading
These strategies involve purchasing one security and selling short another security that’s expected to benefit from the differential net return of the securities.
Outright rate trading
These strategies involve either purchasing or selling short government bonds and/or other interest-rate related instruments based on a view as to the direction of prices of these instruments.
Relative value rate trading
These strategies involve purchasing one security and selling another security short to create a position that is focused on idiosyncratic movements between the individual securities.
Duration neutral portfolio construction
This strategy involves the construction of short and long positions, having a duration close to zero or close to benchmark to insulate the portfolio from interest rate movements.
