Finding the flexibility in fixed income

Our fixed income portfolio management capabilities span all publicly traded sectors. We seek to combine top-down and bottom-up inputs to identify and exploit fixed income market inefficiencies around the world. Macroeconomic analysts and market strategists identify top-down structural and cyclical risks and opportunities, while our bottom-up, fundamental research draws on insights from fixed income, equity, commodity and currency analysts. This broad and deep perspective, along with access to company management teams, can help us anticipate changes in issuers’ capital structures before they are priced into securities.

Fixed income investments have the potential to generate income, mitigate downside risk, diversify a portfolio, and/or enhance returns. We offer approaches that target all of these objectives.

Our private partnership structure helps us to attract and retain world-class investment talent and allows us to align performance incentives for our professionals with the achievement of client objectives. This has contributed to the depth, experience, and continuity of our fixed income investors.

Our experienced team of over 200 dedicated fixed income professionals includes portfolio managers, credit, currency, and quantitative analysts, traders, and strategists.
