BlueBay Investment Grade Corporate Credit



Global investment grade corporate bonds offer a number of benefits to a fixed income portfolio. Corporate bonds generally offer higher yields than government bonds and using a global investment universe adds significant diversification benefits versus a portfolio of domestic bonds.

In a low yield environment, we see opportunity in active management, rather than passive. The strategy employs both top-down and bottom-up analysis and aims to generate excess returns via sector and issuer selection based on high-quality proprietary research.

Strategy Overview

  • Invests predominantly in fixed income securities issued by investment grade-rated companies globally.
  • Interest rate risk (duration) controlled in a narrow band.
  • Typical exposure consists of 80-250 issuers with little to no active currency risk.

Our Approach

Investment Strategy

  • Research seeks to integrate macro, regulatory, and political research with more traditional balance sheet analysis.
  • Majority of any excess return expected to come from bottom-up decisions (sector, issuer and issue selection).
  • Strong emphasis on capital preservation underscores a focus on total as well as relative returns.
  • Disciplined risk management at every stage of investment process.
