The unswerving pursuit of a precise objective dominates our fixed income fund range: optimising the risk/reward ratio, whatever the market climate and universe explored. Acting on strong convictions, this objective comes into play in all segments of the yield curve and encompass a broad spectrum of issuers on the corporate bond market.
With the dual skills of the analyst-fund manager supporting them, members of the bond team have developed real control of their investment universe to ensure effective operation in three distinct markets, namely the:
- Money market
- Government bond market
- Corporate bond market
Based on robust investment processes, our managers count above all on bond-picking. This is founded on in-depth analysis of the issuer’s balance sheets, which are subjected to stress tests in extreme market conditions. This approach has provided our fund managers with an ability to anticipate developments, which makes it possible to assess issuer quality more subtly than on ratings alone.
