Best Styles Global Brilliant blend of risk factors
Even in volatile capital markets there is one constant factor: risk premiums. Harnessing them is a common aim when investing in bonds or currencies. It is a less familiar strategy when it comes to the active management of equities – but it can be just as successful. Best Styles Global is a multi-factor investing approach that we have been implementing successfully since 1999. Thanks to a risk-controlled mix of factors, corresponding risk premiums are earned reliably – and remain largely unaffected by the economic and market environment. Best Styles Global aims for above-average1 and stable returns in the future. allianzgi.com For more information please contact AllianzGI Netherlands: Robert Koopdonk +31 (0) 88 5773 146 Robert.Koopdonk@allianzgi.com
