Fixed Income Strategies

Investing in Fixed Income

We are a global fixed income investment manager operating with the strength of local “on-the-ground” teams, who systematically share views and investment ideas across a range of fixed income, credit, cash and strategies in developed and emerging markets.

Our global advantage

While our various fixed income teams utilise distinct and independent investment processes, our 35+ investment experts located globally can nimbly work together to bring locally generated investment ideas to our global portfolios.

Active credit research

Our global credit research team supports our entire global fixed income and credit business. Thorough credit research is the building block for our investment processes and the global team is an integral component in the success of our investment strategies.

ESG & climate change

We find that companies and governments that manage environmental, social and governance (ESG) risks poorly typically manage other risks poorly. While it can be challenging to integrate ESG factors into fixed income investing – we strive to systematically consider ESG factors as part of our investment process.
 

Australian Fixed Income

We build portfolios with diverse sources of returns

Exploring a broad fixed income universe, our Australian fixed income team aims to generate performance through uncorrelated sources. We are among Australia’s largest and most established fixed income managers, with a track record extending back more than 25 years.

Global Credit

We go beyond the limits of most credit analysis

For more than two decades, we have managed global credit portfolios through economic cycles and fluctuating market conditions. All holdings undergo comprehensive analysis to help minimise investment risk, including ESG risks facing individual issuers.

Short Term Investments and Cash

A steady hand often gets the best results

With more than A$45 billion1 of funds under management and over 40 years’ experience, we are one of Australia’s largest cash managers2. Unlike in many other asset classes, size and scale within cash is often a significant advantage.
