CCL Financial Group brings new investment strategies for investors!

Connor, Clark & ​​Lunn Financial Group (CC & L Financial Group) announced today that the UCITS ICAV is expanded by two new quantitative strategies: Global Small Cap Equity and Global Equity. These strategies are made by the Quantitative Equity Team of Connor, Clark & ​​Lunn Investment Management Ltd. (CC & L Investment Management), which is the oldest and largest subsidiary of CC & L Financial Group. Founded in 1982, based in Vancouver, Canada, the company now manages over $ 54 billion, while the entire CC&L Financial Group manages more than $ 99 billion.

The main objectives of the new strategies are to surpass the benchmarks of the msci acwi small cap index (net) and the MSCI ACWI index (net) over a market cycle. The quantitative equity team, consisting of 80 investment experts and led by Jennifer Drake and Steven Huang, pursues a continuously developed quantitative investment process in order to create added value in various market environments. With this they want to encounter the challenges that exist outside the USA for shares.

challenges for stock markets

shares outside the United States face various challenges that can be influenced by trade strategies such as punitive tariffs. These tariffs could particularly disadvantage European and Asian exporters. However, the exact extent of the tariffs remains unclear. While some companies that produce in the United States could potentially benefit, non-US companies in niche markets have opportunities to overcome the potential disadvantages without getting stuck on the American market.

quality companies that are not dependent on US exports are probably less affected and could even benefit from these developments. Particular attention must be paid to emerging countries that are particularly susceptible to changes in the economic environment. Investors should distinguish precisely between developments in individual countries and specific companies, since the performance of the shares depends heavily on profit growth.

strategic advantages for investors

portfolios that aim at companies with above -average profit growth could prove to be strategically advantageous. In addition, there are also options in the area of ​​financing until 2025, especially if the US economy remains stable. Lower interest rates could reduce pressure on borrowing companies and promote more takeover activities. The market for direct loans, which comprises a volume of $ 1.5 trillion, also remains an interesting field for investors who want to acquire real estate or consumption loans from banks.

Overall, the expansion of CC&L Financial Group signals that it is ready to counter the challenges of the market with innovative solutions, while at the same time the investor environment is constantly analyzed. However, the message contains no recommendations for buying or selling products or services.
