Global Short Duration Bond
Credit opportunities at the shorter end of the curve.
Reasons to invest
Short duration credit can allow investors to navigate volatility while at the same time potentially delivering a more attractive return than cash and other ‘safe haven’ options.
Why Global Short Duration?
How we invest
Our investment process combines top-down macro decisions with bottom-up security selection and can be applied across different fixed income styles and risk tolerances.
To assess the relative value of investments in corporate issuers, we perform a qualitative analysis of the issuer’s industry sector and competitive position within its industry or market sector that takes into account strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
Our team conducts a fundamental credit risk analysis that, in conjunction with the qualitative analysis, assesses the likelihood of an issuer defaulting on its bonds to determine the appropriate market price of a security which is reflective of its value.
Investment philosophy
We seek out debt securities which we believe will generate a high level of total return with the lowest levels of volatility across a broad range of geographic regions and industries.
