Rubrics Asset Management believes passive investment approaches — such as the benchmark-orientated portfolios that have served investors well in bull markets — have run their course. Over the past two decades, the firm has developed a diverse line-up of actively managed, risk-adjusted portfolios to suit a range of investor profiles. Rubrics serves institutional and private investors from its Dublin headquarters and London offices, including asset managers, fund-of-funds, high-net-worth individuals, charities and endowments. Fixed income strategies are Rubrics’ speciality, and its active management approach allows the firm to respond swiftly to minimise downsides and seize fleeting opportunities. Authorised and regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland and the UK Financial Conduct Authority, Rubrics Asset Management is an open-ended variable capital umbrella investment company offering investors five EU UCITS (Undertakings for Collective Investment in Transferable Securities) with segregated liability and a base currency in US dollars. Rubrics Asset Management gives foreign investors access to Indian national debt through two fixed income funds. It structures the credit allocation of its global and emerging markets fixed income funds to maximise risk-adjusted returns. Its global credit fund features a mix of high-quality credit with low-duration terms, with a focus on capital preservation. The firm has assembled a skilled team with complementary backgrounds in fintech, business development and compliance to monitor market trends and execute portfolio strategies. The CFI.co judging panel is pleased to present Rubrics Asset Management with the 2020 award for Best Fixed Income Fund Manager (Ireland).
