Investment Grade

Investment grade corporate bonds have been at the core of our long-standing fixed income expertise for over 30 years. 

 

Globally, we manage investment grade corporate bond assets across a range of global, US dollar, euro or sterling focused strategies. Our capabilities range from buy-and-maintain portfolios to benchmark aware and benchmark agnostic, total return focused portfolios with solutions available for different maturity profiles.
