Alpha generation
Each hedge fund is managed using its own individual investment process which is essentially based on:
- Fundamental stock picking seeking to generate alpha in a risk adjusted manner
- Taking advantage of the informational edge arising from more than 2,500 company meetings each year held at New Star's offices. These provide access to the senior management of global companies across the market cap range and allow a cross referencing with suppliers, distributors and competitors
- Actively trading portfolios to ensure profits are maximised and losses minimised
- New Star seeks to generate absolute returns generating alpha on both longs and shorts with active use of the hedge fund balance sheets
