Orthogonal Investments is an active, value-based manager which deliberately and purposely has a narrow product offering comprising South African equity, specialist equity, global and South African balanced and South African bonds. The firm seeks to identify undervalued equities, selecting stocks through a value-oriented, bottom-up and risk-focused process which evaluates proprietary historic data. They analyze company-specific risk, constructing portfolios with share weightings determined by company and then sector valuation conviction levels. Orthogonal Investments aims to maximize orthogonality through an iterative and exhaustive portfolio risk-adjustment process (absolute and relative to benchmark) where cross-sectional valuations, sectoral equity risk premia, credit risk, inadvertent exposures, macroeconomic variables and other experience-led risk inputs are utilized to adjust share and sector weights. Their fixed-income portfolios are based on the mathematical properties of bonds and the firm has developed proprietary software to comprehensively analyse corporate bonds. Orthogonal Investments utilizes sophisticated proprietary models, seeking to calibrate the forward looking risk premia priced into markets and then to increase exposure when they are rewarding and to decrease exposure when they are low.
