Strategy Overview
The Global Sovereign Credit strategy seeks sovereign bond investments offering, in our view, the best combination of high real yield and constructive fundamentals given our macroeconomic outlook. This value-based strategy helps investors unlock the potential benefits of mean-reversion tendencies in interest rates and currency valuations. To avoid the inefficiencies of global bond benchmarks, the team takes a benchmark-agnostic approach that limits investment to only the 10-20 countries and currencies considered most attractive. For over two decades, the Global Fixed Income team has achieved its risk-adjusted returns by implementing a process of country rotation through the broad global fixed income universe.
