Exemplary service, timely innovation and attractive returns across market cycles have been hallmarks of Blocks Finex since the origin.
Our Diversity & Inclusion Strategy
At Blocks Finex, we want every person to have the opportunity to succeed based on merit, regardless of race, color, religion, creed, ancestry, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, citizenship status, sexual orientation, gender identity expression, military or veteran status, or any other criterion. Why is this so important? To us, diverse and inclusive teams enriched with people of distinctive backgrounds make us better. They help us generate better ideas, reach more balanced decisions, engage our communities and help our clients achieve better outcomes.
Investment Philosophy
Blocks Finex differentiated credit-focused franchise combines relative value trading with a deep understanding of fundamental credit investing and legal and structuring expertise. With an emphasis on risk management, Blocks Finex opportunistically invests across the capital structure in less efficient segments of the market with the goal of generating consistent, alpha-driven returns across market cycles.
Responsible Investing
Blocks Finex Partners is committed to conducting business in a safe, responsible, and ethical manner. These principals guide our decision-making throughout the investment lifecycle.
From the onset of the investment process, we pursue ideas inspired by environmental, social, and governance ('ESG') issues and participate in industries engaged with these themes. All companies in which we invest are first vetted by our professionals, who work closely with expert advisors, to identify and mitigate potential ESG conflicts. Our ESG due diligence program requires an assessment of ten key ESG areas which may impact the current or future performance of a company. One Equity Partners will forego any investment that fails to meet its ESG standards.
Once invested, One Equity Partners reviews and monitors all its portfolio companies to ensure they adhere to its ESG policy, which is periodically reviewed to incorporate best practices as risks evolve. This process allows One Equity Partners to quickly detect and preempt or manage any difficulties that may arise during the investment period.
As investments mature, One Equity Partners seeks to continually improve upon ESG reviews and recommendations, and, together with management, works to ensure that ESG issues are prioritized through to and beyond exit.
Professionally managed investment portfolios
Time is a precious commodity. Researching investments in ever-changing markets and handling investment transactions are more than most people have time for. Blocks Finex's Asset Management Solutions program allows you to delegate the daily management of your assets and invest with confidence, knowing that your portfolio is in the hands of experienced professionals.
Different goals require different approaches.
At Blocks Finex we recognize that each investor is unique. That's why we take a personalized approach to developing an asset management strategy by selecting investment portfolios that closely match your goals, tolerance for risk, and expectation for returns.
Wealth Planning
A solid Wealth Plan ensures you have a financial strategy that supports your aspirations. Once we understand your lifestyle goals, we look at the current path of your finances to ensure that you are on track to meet them through retirement and beyond.
