Asian Fixed Income
By actively managing the developing fixed income markets in Asia, our Asian Fixed Income strategies seek to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors.
Our philosophy
- We believe that the inefficiencies of the Asian credit market can be identified by the careful and disciplined analysis of Asian economic and industry cycles as well as individual issuers and issues
- We believe that by understanding the management style and culture of Asian businesses and institutions, while identifying local supply and demand dynamics, we can manage the unique investment risks to take full advantage of our opportunity set
- We believe that by combining these local insights together with a truly global perspective, we can construct portfolios in a risk controlled framework which consistently deliver superior risk adjusted returns for our clients

Risk Warning
The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. The value of the underlying assets is strongly affected by interest rate fluctuations and by changes in the credit ratings of the underlying issuer of the assets.
