French to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Investment / Securities | | French term or phrase: contrariant | This word appears appears on a number of occasions in a report regarding an investment fund and the fund managers (see below for the extracts). Whilst I appreciate that the word may not always have same meaning in every instance, it would seem that the general sense in most cases is the same or at least similar. I'm not sure whether this should be translated as "contrary", "contradictory", "inconsistent" or something else in this particular context. Any assitance is greatly appreciated.
"Les investisseurs noteront toutefois que compte tenu du style du gérant, à long terme et souvent contrariant, le fonds peut traverser des périodes, historiquement de courte durée, de sous performance par rapport à l'indice et à ses concurrents."
"Les résultats relatifs ont été ternis par le maintien d’une position contrariante sur la Grèce."
"Cette gestion de conviction, souvent contrariante, est en effet basée sur une lecture rigoureuse des principales variables macroéconomiques et monétaires."
"En plus de la recherche interne, intensive, XXXXX utilise les analyses extérieures dans une logique contrariante."
"En véritable contrariant, il participe aux différentes enquêtes d'opinion et accroît l'amplitude de ses paris en fonction de ce qui est valorisé par le consensus." |
