Our global fixed income capabilities

Offering solutions across the global fixed income spectrum

We offer the full spectrum of global fixed income strategies from benchmark agnostic total return to staying within a benchmark’s universe. Depending on benchmark and risk budget, we are able to help tailor a solution and generate alpha for our clients.

As inefficient markets can impact bond prices, our goal is to exploit those through an understanding of fundamentals and valuations, market behavioral indicators, macroeconomic trends and consideration of cyclical and secular themes. Our resources and decision making process have been built with the aim to achieve consistent and strong risk-adjusted alpha.
