Glossary
Investment Approach
Active asset allocation approach
We believe asset allocation is the primary driver of returns. Specifically, we actively manage the strategy’s duration position and credit exposure based on where we believe we are in the economic cycle.
Designed for attractive total return
The strategy’s flexibility allows it to source return from a wide range of global fixed income securities. In addition, we favour sensible income from large, non-cyclical businesses that are likely to continue paying their coupons in the years to come.
Aims to exploit opportunities
We believe divergent central bank policy has created an opportunity for us to exploit market inefficiencies. The portfolio seeks to take advantage of these opportunities across developed markets and to avoid currency bets.
An integrated ESG approach
We embrace issuers that maintain a strong environmental, social and governance (ESG) profile, with the core of our portfolio dedicated to lending to quality businesses that are not exposed to material ESG risks. Our proprietary ESG ratings framework is based on materiality and trajectory.
