Why Advance selected BTIM
BT Investment Management is an active manager focused on generating excess returns (alpha) from bottom-up and top-down strategies. These strategies are employed across a variety of products to meet the changing demands of investors.
BTIM believe market inefficiencies can be identified and exploited. When markets are inefficient, markets and securities can be mispriced. These securities tend to revert back to what we consider to be their 'true' or inherent value – but this process can take time. An active investment approach and rigorous research aims to identify and exploit these inefficiencies.
