Garda Capital Partners focuses on managing assets through global alternative investment strategies, particularly in fixed income relative value. The firm identifies opportunities in global interest rate disparities and sovereign debt instruments, aiming to deliver consistent returns that are not affected by broader market trends. Their approach relies on proprietary analysis to find imbalances in supply and demand for sovereign bonds and differences in interest rate policies among countries. Unlike many asset management firms, Garda specifically targets institutional clients like pension funds and endowments, offering them unique investment solutions to diversify their portfolios. The goal of Garda Capital Partners is to achieve stable returns for their clients while effectively managing risk.
