How we invest
Our large, experienced team undertakes detailed analysis on issuers to assess and manage the risk of each individual security. Investing in floating rate securities provides defensive protection as these bonds have historically exhibited low correlation to equities. Our research-driven approach helps us deliver returns that typically are higher than term deposits or government bonds.
Actively managed
Applying a fundamental and research-driven approach, utilising quantitative and qualitative techniques, helps us to systematically uncover and exploit sources of value.
A disciplined approach
We complete a relative value analysis of every potential investment decision. Our comprehensive credit risk modelling ensures we continuously assess the risk versus return to deliver optimal outcomes.
Proven, repeatable process
Our experienced fixed income team employs a disciplined and repeatable investment process, incorporating assessment of ESG factors, backed by leading technologies and proprietary tools.
