A&Co uses a proprietary quantitative investment selection process. The firm invests across major currencies and asset classes, focusing on dollar-, sterling- and euro-denominated investments.

Equity investments complement the portfolios, following a strictly bottom-up investment process which considers both a company's potential and the sector's prospects.
