Garda Capital Partners focuses on managing assets through alternative investment strategies, particularly in the realm of fixed income. The firm identifies opportunities in global interest rate differences and sovereign debt across developed markets. Its main strategy, the fixed income relative value strategy, seeks to provide steady returns regardless of market fluctuations by analyzing supply and demand imbalances in sovereign bonds and varying interest rate policies. Unlike many asset management firms, Garda Capital Partners aims to be uncorrelated with broader market trends, which helps in diversifying investment portfolios for its institutional clients, such as pension funds and foundations. The firm generates revenue through management and performance fees, relying on a skilled team and advanced analytical tools to enhance investment performance and manage risks.
