Targeting the sweet spot of Absolute return bonds
Absolute Return
Low yields, concerns about rising inflation and the desire to increase diversification are causing investors to look beyond traditional index-based products for their fixed income portfolio. Absolute return bond fixed income strategies can provide a robust solution.
Our absolute return strategies aim to deliver positive outcomes in a range of market conditions. We implement a flexible approach blending top-down strategic positioning with bottom-up fundamental based investment. Expertise is drawn from right across our fixed income capabilities with risk management hard-wired into our process at every stage.
Risk Disclaimer
The value of investments and any income derived from them can go down as well as up as a result of market or currency movements and investors may not get back the original amount invested.
Our approach to absolute return fixed income is unconstrained and has a clear focus: the delivery of stable returns having a different profile to that of global bond markets. To do this we focus on:
- Diversified return sources
- Consistent absolute returns
- Disciplined risk management
- Liquidity
- Varied sources of value
- High conviction
- Use of derivatives for alpha generation and hedging
