High Yield

Aegon AM manages high yield strategies with a time-tested investment approach.

For over two decades, we've managed high yield strategies through various market environments using a disciplined process coupled with a risk-foused mindset and opportunistic management style.

Supported by our seasoned research teams, we form high-conviction ideas as we navigate market inflection points. Our high yield capabilities include various US, European and global high yield strategies with clients spanning the globe. Overall, the teams aim to mitigate risk and uncover opportunities as they navigate market inefficiencies and pursue consistent excess returns.

 

 

Distinguishing characteristics

Our specialized expertise, long-term investment focus, and risk-aware mindset help differentiate our high yield strategies:

Global, specialized research capabilities

Fundamental research is the foundation of our process. Our multi-pronged, global research includes dedicated credit, loan, special situations and distressed credit teams. The seasoned credit research team includes industry experts that further specialize by high yield and investment grade issuers. Dedicated leveraged loan research provides an asset class focus and expands the research coverage to loan-only issuers, while the special situations and distressed credit team helps mitigate risk and uncover potential opportunities.

Dynamic, business cycle-based approach

Our high yield team seeks to add value over the course of a business cycle by effectively pricing risk and anticipating changes to capitalize on market dislocations. Portfolio managers invest across the high yield quality spectrum, combining bottom-up and top-down insights with a keen focus on relative value to form high-conviction ideas. By actively managing risk, the team aims to generate consistent excess returns and pursue multiple alpha sources throughout cycles.

Risk-aware mindset, risk-adjusted results

With a risk-aware mindset, the team aims to maximize upside capture and minimize downside risk. Using a disciplined process, we aim to take sufficient, but not excessive, investment risk as we pursue performance targets while remaining focused on staying within risk tolerances. Managers actively adjust the portfolio’s risk profile as they navigate market dislocations and anticipate inflection points.
