Investment capability

Fixed income

We seek to play to our strengths, favouring longer horizons than most fixed-income investors. We emphasise secure, growing cash flows and long-term outcomes over current yields.

Why invest in our fixed-income strategies?

We have decades of experience in fixed-income markets, including investments in corporate debt, global government and emerging market bonds. We stay laser-focused on risk, building well-diversified portfolios that aim to safeguard your capital and provide you with consistent returns. Each of our teams has specialist knowledge, but they work in close collaboration. So we can meet your need, whether it be achieving steady income or diversifying your portfolio. 

How do we invest in fixed-income assets?

We exploit each fixed-income market’s different inefficiencies in distinctive ways.  

But three factors always hold: we conduct deep fundamental research, invest with conviction and exercise patience. So even if a bond’s value dips, we may continue to own it if the borrower’s long-term prospects stay sound. By doing so, we aim to bring you resilient income over time.
