Sub-asset class specialisms across relative return, total return and alternative investment strategies
Global Leveraged Finance
Our global leveraged finance specialists are comprised of a large and experienced group of research-oriented investment professionals with experience analyzing credit and investing across multiple credit cycles. This multi-cycle experience is a prerequisite to investing effectively in both rising and falling markets.
Global Investment Grade
The strength of the Global Investment Grade specialists stems from the quality and size of our team – we have a large, well-resourced group of professionals with deep experience and knowledge of developed market economies both on the macro and credit side.
Securitized Credit
We embody an active approach that leverages our expertise in the structural complexities of asset-backed securities. We invest across a range of collateral types, including residential/commercial mortgages, credit cards, and leveraged loans.
Multi-Asset Credit
Multi-asset credit provides the flexibility to be able to capture returns in attractive conditions, while seeking to provide downside protection when markets turn. We believe this investment management strategy represents an attractive asset allocation risk/return profile.
Our expertise across the fixed income spectrum and diverse investment styles mean that we can harness ideas across investment grade, global high yield, structured credit, loans, contingent convertibles (CoCos), convertible bonds and emerging markets.
The overall strategies are managed by BlueBay’s Multi-Asset Decision Group, which comprises a team of senior investment professionals.
Emerging Market Debt
