    Uncorrelated return strategies aim to generate consistent returns with limited, or zero, correlation to any of the major asset classes of the financial markets. That means generating positive returns year after year while diversifying broadly to have low overall exposure to any single industry.

    • Working Capital Solutions (WCS), can be defined as the use of financing and risk mitigation practices and techniques to optimize the management of the working capital and liquidity invested in the supply chain process.
    • As investors and lenders, it is important to have the visibility and understanding of the supply chain process and know how trade flows.
    • Key benefit for customers: WCS accelerates growth by unlocking cash trapped in the working capital cycle using receivables, payables and inventory solutions.
