Our commitment is exclusive to our client’s best interests. Thus, as an independent financial partner, EMCORE operates free of any binding obligation to third-party product providers. We work closely with investors to develop strategies that fit perfectly their portfolio. Our advice is based on our own independent risk-return analyzes. We act on the markets freely and independently, assessing all activities comprehensively and objectively. The combination of our tailor-made independent analyzes results in investment solutions that cannot be found anywhere else on the market. We are confident about the quality of our actively managed strategies, and as a result, we have successfully made some of these strategies available to external institutional clients as suitable investment vehicles, such as mutual funds.

The decisions made by EMCORE reflect the convictions of our experts. As a team, we pursue an active portfolio management approach shaped by our principles and implemented in accordance with our strict investment process. Portfolio management with derivatives requires a long-standing, experienced team with an excellent understanding of this asset class. The individual strategy development, focused implementation, and all investment decisions are made, and supported, by the team as a whole.

We have defined the implementation of our ESG strategy in a sustainability mission statement based on four approaches. In addition to very specific exclusions based on serious violations of the UN Global Compact or manufacturers of controversial weapons, it involves ESG integration, e.g., by excluding companies with poor ESG ratings. We will fulfill our role as a responsible asset manager and investor through engagement activities and have already defined corresponding ESG minimum requirements for this. Furthermore, we are committed to reporting transparently on the progress of the ESG strategy and to integrating compliance with and improvement in ESG targets into the performance appraisals of responsible colleagues.

Our risk management is an integral part of the overall investment process. It allows us to implement individual risk parameters and therefore integrate optimal strategies in the overall asset allocation. We carefully identify the risk tolerance of each individual client, and make sure to fully understand their requirements. As part of our investment process, all of the key risk factors that are decisive for a strategy are monitored, assessed, and controlled on a continuous basis. Thus, consistent risk management plays a substantial role in our long-term success.

Our investment process focuses on active decisions. These decisions are made on the basis of our quantitative approach, which combines the latest technologies, strict rules, and human experience. Our experienced teams use proven investment processes across market cycles. Supported by the strengths of comprehensive internal resources and capabilities, we are able to offer tailored products that help our clients achieve their risk/return objectives.

We believe that transparency and openness are the best way to build a solid reputation, long-term relationships and minimize any risks. Therefore, we provide our clients with informative and reliable data for all strategies.
This openness is consistently demonstrated toward clients, employees and external partners. It is a central aspect of the corporate culture at EMCORE and it is implemented both pragmatically and consistently.
