Independent Management
Free of Interest ConflictOur clients open an account in their name or in the name of their company, in one of the best counterparties (banks/investment platforms) and Bendio manages their investments under aLimited Power of Attorney, without maintaining any type of relationship with the counterparties that generates incentives other than keeping their account growing.
By avoiding a direct or dependent relationship with the counterparties, Bendio offers a conflict-of-interest free management as there is no incentive to offer products structured by the banks or to make numerous transactions with the aim of charging transactional fees.
What is a limited Power of Attorney?
It is a contract through which the client authorizes its regulated advisor, in this case Bendio, to execute an agreed investment strategy, excluding the possibility of making deposits or withdrawals in the holder’s account. The main advantage of having a Limited Power of Attorney ¨LPA¨ is that the advisor or portfolio manager will be able to make decisions more quickly and take advantage of opportunities that are framed within the client’s risk profile.

Personalized service
Local presence and a private banking service…Because our clients are our main asset, we do not spare any effort inproviding a personalized attention and customer service, familiarizing ourselves with their medium- and long-term objectives, explaining in detail our investment processes, and being at their disposal at all times.
We seek long-term relationships that will transcend generations, which is why we go even further, taking an interest in your family group´s financial education; we offer alternative solutions that optimize your resources; and we are always willing to listen and guide you in your financial needs.

Best risk-return ratio
Risk management – that’s the name of the game…Historically, financial markets have generated positive returns for investors, exceeding 80% probability over a time horizon of more than 3 years. There are, however, no returns without risk, so consistency in the business is based on surviving periods of poor market performance. We therefore implement an early warning system that allows us to limit potential losses.
We focus on structuring a diverse portfolio across all assets classes, including private alternatives, giving preference to assets that are market-leading in terms of risk-return, for consistent, long-term results.
The work is to minimize the losses with a strict and automated risk management– the market takes care of the rest.
What are the asset classes available in the markets?
There are different groups of assets in the financial markets such as stocks or indexes, energies, bonds or fixed income, metals, grains, soft commodities, currencies, among others. Each asset has characteristics, for example, stock indexes have a clear upward bias while energies are characterized by their volatility. A good management should be able to maintain a sustainable performance by making an optimal combination of assets.

Our own quantitative system
Quantitative strategies
As human beings, our emotions, intuition, and feelings can have a negative impact on our ability to manage performance in a sustainable way. Bendio Quant was designed with algorithms, precision, and logic to achieve long-term growth, whilst also exercising a strict control of risk.
“The concept of quantitative investing might sound overwhelming or complex at first glance, however, it is quite simple. It is all about creating rule-based systems…”
Andrés Trujillo, Senior Portfolio Manager.
1.
A theoretically well-founded investment idea is proposed which may have the potential to generate returns.
2.
Bendio encodes this strategy in a way that is so objective and straightforward – that it can be translated into a computing language.
3.
Bendio tests the strategy’s outcome using historical data, through a process known as backtesting, and through a rigorous validation process decides to take this strategy to a portfolio of real-money strategies.
What does backtesting mean?
A backtesting or historical simulation is a process where the fund manager tests the robustness of an investment strategy using a particular data window. The simulations allow us to understand the nature, profile, and mathematical expectation of the strategy.
Advantages of a quantitative system
-
Unemotional management:
The decision-making responds to a system of rules across multiple assets, directions, investment logics and time windows.
-
Alpha generation that is decorrelated to the market:
The objective is the extraction of alpha (or market-beating profits) in de-correlated (highly diversified) trades lasting from days to weeks (Swing trading).
-
Risk Management:
Risk management and metrics to quantify market exposure is an essential part of quantitative management.
-
A Holistic View:
The view is completely holistic of the markets. From commodities to equity indices to cryptocurrencies. 24/7 looking for signals and opportunities in the markets.
-
Strategy Factory:
Bendio Quant is a proprietary ecosystem that allows you to create, optimize, validate, analyze, manage, demote, and trade automated investment strategies in real time.
Diversification is Key.

When your portfolio has been fully invested, you can take a loan Lombard loan with your portfolio as collateral and generate an additional income in alternative or non-conventional investments. But always being careful about over-exposure and the overall risk of the portfolio.
What is a lombard loan?
It is a credit granted by the counterparty where the client has his account, which has as collateral the investment portfolio. Its amount will depend on the securities held in the portfolio. That is to say, it is possible to leverage the portfolio according to the quality and the securities held as underlying. With an intelligent use of this leverage, returns can be improved at certain market junctures.
