Fixed Income Capabilities

Unlocking potential in the world’s fixed income markets.

Faced with unpredictable markets, a growth in asset correlation and a wider choice of assets than ever before, the industry’s established benchmarks and strategies are coming up short. Seems like now’s the right time to consider who can deliver a viable alternative.

These days, achieving fixed income diversification means harnessing the local insight that only comes from having an established presence across major world markets. Our fixed income specialists work collaboratively across three continents, sharing expertise across a single platform, whilst enjoying the autonomy that helps them deliver the investment outcomes clients seek.

Our multidisciplinary in-house research helps identify new opportunities. And our proprietary risk management techniques mean we can tailor innovative strategies around clients' specific goals, quickly and with precision.

Investment Outlook for 2013

Shahid Ikram, Chief Investment Officer: "I expect the year to shape up quite differently across geographies with a reasonable economic picture in the US and Asia on the one hand, and a grimmer picture in Europe and the UK on the other hand."
