The study – ‘Beyond carry and momentum in government bonds’ – is the first of its kind to consider a wide range of possible factors in investing in government bonds with their various definitions and to link fixed income rate factors with the existing literature on curve pricing and macro-economic models.

The academic paper takes the reader through a three step reasoning: theoretical foundations, statistical analysis, back testing, before introducing some technical innovations and ultimately identifying four investment factors: carry, defensive investing, value, reversal.
