A rigorous, disciplined and proven investment process 

We believe we have one of the best resourced and most highly-experienced fixed income teams in Europe. Our fixed income team is built on specialist knowledge, experience and proven ability to generate strong performance. The team is organised into specialist units, which enables us to maintain the diversity and precision which lie at the heart of our long-term track record. Their diverse backgrounds cover all bond classes from UK government bonds to high yield debt, emerging markets and currency markets. This means that individuals within the specialist teams focus on a particular area of the market and unearth a diverse set of opportunities for the benefit of all our clients.

Our fixed income investment philosophy and process have proven successful over many years and in a wide range of  economic environments. Our approach emphasises the importance of allocating risk across the widest range of investment opportunities where risk and return have been precisely analysed and targeted.

The key strengths of our process lie in its ability to be consistently and continually applied across the full range of bond markets.

We have a long and successful history of managing UK government, corporate and index-linked bonds on both a pooled and segregated basis. This has helped us to become one of the largest managers of these assets in the UK. In addition, we also have particular strengths in European, global and emerging bond markets and have launched several cash benchmarked funds, designed to maximise return in all market conditions, these include the Bonds Plus Fund, Broad Market Bonds Plus Fund and the Loan Fund.
