Investment approach
1. Long-only total return approach
We use a long-term diversified allocation framework that can be adjusted to shorter-term market dynamics. This allows us to implement the team’s convictions and seize tactical opportunities across the bond spectrum.
The team thoroughly incorporates sustainability to create a diversified portfolio that is both sustainability-aligned and ESG-integrated. Whereas ESG analysis allows us to avoid controversies and mitigate impact, forward-looking sustainability analysis helps identify opportunities on a given issuer’s path to net-zero emissions alignment.
3. Benchmark-agnostic:
A flexible approach enables the team to pursue what they believe are the most attractive opportunities in given market conditions, with no bias to any curves, regions or sectors. It also enables the Sub-Fund to adopt a more conservative approach in uncertain periods.
Team 5
Managed by a multi-disciplinary team of fixed income experts, the team searches for what we consider to be the best ideas across a global universe.
