Sidera Funds employs advanced active management and security-selection techniques, drawing on partnerships with leading international asset managers to broaden its expertise and opportunity set.
The product range is enhanced by new solutions focused on thematic investments and non-traditional asset classes, designed to diversify and expand investment choices. In addition, a dividend-distributing share class is available across all retail sub-funds in the Sidera Funds range for investors seeking a periodic income stream.*
The investment process follows a core-satellite approach, combining directional (beta) and non-directional (alpha) strategies, including both Relative Value and Yield Enhancement strategies.
Product innovation extends to asset classes requiring a high degree of specialisation and substantial analytical capabilities.
Sidera Funds delivers these outcomes through advanced quantitative tools and established partnerships with highly regarded managers with strong track records.
Portfolio management is underpinned by risk measurement, with strategies selected according to their contribution to overall volatility.
In an interconnected market environment, it is essential to construct sophisticated portfolios guided by formal risk-control metrics.
Leverage is used with the objective of generating alpha while containing overall risk, measured through Value at Risk (VaR), calculated in absolute or relative terms depending on the benchmark or return objectives
The acronym ESG, Environmental, Social and Governance, specifies the sustainable indicators used to assess the environmental, social and governance impacts of financial investments:
ENVIRONMENTAL:
SOCIAL:
GOVERNANCE:
In order to respond to the growing demands of clients on sustainable issues, investment processes were be integrated with ESG criteria through the definition of an internal rating that combines scores attributed to environmental, social and governance factors on a scale from AAA to CCC.
This methodology is accompanied by close monitoring of investments and the application of possible restrictions on the purchase of shares of issuers active in sectors considered controversial because they are not in line with environmental, social and governance sustainability issues.
The Funds do not actively promote sustainability factors or maximize portfolio alignment with sustainability factors; however, they remain exposed to Sustainability Risks. Such Sustainability Risks are integrated into the Funds' investment decision-making and risk monitoring to the extent that these risks represent potential or actual material risks and/or opportunities to maximize risk-adjusted long-term returns.
The Management Company in collaboration with the Investment Manager does not consider the negative impacts of the Funds' investment decisions on the Sustainability Factors due to the current focus of the investment objective. In addition, there is insufficient data available to adequately assess the potential negative or adverse impact of the Funds' investment decisions on Sustainability Factors.
For further details on the integration of sustainability factors in the remuneration policies, please refer to the detailed document published at the following link
This disclosure is made in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability reporting in the financial services industry
