risks.

The following risks may be materially relevant but may not always be adequately captured by the summary risk indicator and may cause additional loss: Credit risk, Operational risk and risks related to asset safekeeping and Model risk. Sustainability risks may lead to a significant deterioration in the financial profile, profitability or reputation of an underlying investment and may therefore have a significant impact on its market price or liquidity. The environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) considerations discussed herein may affect an investment team’s decision to invest in certain companies or industries from time to time. Results may differ from portfolios that do not apply similar ESG considerations to their investment process.

Global Fixed Income Opportunities

Flexible fixed income investing to navigate market cycles


Our Global Fixed Income Opportunities strategy offers an unconstrained global strategy combining strategic and dynamic allocations to help investors better manage risk and continue to optimise diverse sources of alpha. 

Managed by a multi-disciplinary team of 11 fixed income experts, we seek compelling investment ideas across a global universe - structured to capture our diverse expertise across fixed income segments and to maximise decorrelation.

why an unconstrained bond portfolio?

As the chart below shows, the best-performing fixed income sub-segment each year has varied substantially over the past 15 years – which is why, in our opinion, it pays to take an active, multi-disciplinary approach to global fixed income investing. 
 

our strategy.

Global Fixed Income Opportunities is an unconstrained, total return, long-only fixed income strategy with the flexibility to pursue timely opportunities across markets, segments, and rate curves.

Our aim: to build a diversified fixed income portfolio that targets attractive risk-adjusted returns of cash +3% over the cycle. We also target a risk profile comparable to the broader fixed income market, i.e. volatility of around 3 to 4%.

A robust, disciplined and repeatable investment process is at the core of how we work, with each step. This, combined with our active, dynamic management of duration and credit positioning helps us to adjust portfolio risks, while navigating through market uncertainties.

We also integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors as well as sustainability megatrends in our investment decision-making process.

In short - a flexible global best-ideas strategy embedding sustainability.
 

Capital at risk. Target performance represents a portfolio construction goal. It does not represent past performance and may not be representative of actual future performance. Incorporation of extra-financial risks into the investment decision process may result in underweighting of profitable investments from the sub-fund’s investment universe and may also lead the management of the sub-fund to underweight investments that will continue to perform. Sustainability risks may lead to a significant deterioration in the financial profile, profitability or reputation of an underlying investment and may therefore have a significant impact on its market price or liquidity.
