Flexible management
What is flexible management?
Flexible management is a management method based on the "flexibility" of investment between different asset classes, in order to adapt to market fluctuations.
This strategy aims to continuously adapt to market conditions by varying its exposure across different investment vehicles. The manager seeks to offer so-called "asymmetric" returns, meaning returns that are poorly correlated with traditional performance indices. The goal is to optimize the cyclical nature of the markets, aiming to protect during downturns and benefit from market upswings.
The degree of flexibility can vary from one fund to another. Notably, there are 100% flexible funds (where allocation to an asset class can vary from 0% to 100%) and partially flexible funds (where allocation typically varies from 30% to 70%).
