Our Values
Ethics
Do what is right with clear priority
Reflection
Learn from history and not be afraid to admit mistakes
Open-Mindedness
Foster an environment to encourage exchange of ideas, and be willing to share and experiment with "out of the box" ideas
Investment Philosophy
Driven by the relative under-development in quantitative approach in Emerging Markets' credit market, we focus on their private and public credits and seek alternative investment options, using data analytics to make informed investment decision. In addition, through our venture capital arm, we invest with a gender-balanced and ESG-conscious focus which statistically proves to create additional alpha.
Data Driven
In the past, a lot of data was under-utilized. With the assistance of data science, we believe we can make better informed investment decision
Disciplined
With the help of solid infrastructure, we can minimize idiosyncratic errors and ensure first of class risk management
Disruptive
We never stop seeking for alternative investment options that can maximize risk-adjusted return
Client Testimonial
“I have been investing in the Integrated Alternative Credit Fund since October 2019, and the fund has exceeded my expectations in terms of positive returns, despite the volatility of 2020. Pollock's advanced machine learning process and diligent risk management continue to deliver stable, uncorrelated returns in this alternative asset class.”
Investor since 2019
“The Pollock Asset Management team has generated stellar returns for my fixed income portfolio. Their regular updates, market insights and sector knowledge have not only given me confidence in their work, but also a peace of mind knowing my investments are in good hands.”
Investor since 2019
“Pollock’s fixed income fund offering is unique in the HK market in terms of its portfolio (being a fixed income debt fund with a diverse mix of exposures), trading algorithm (being one of the first few bond funds trading on its own unique algorithm), and its management team (from trading desks and former investment bankers with access to frequent issuers). The hybrid approach of algo coupled with expert insights makes Pollock a very good option for professional investors.”
