Fixed income (bonds)

The way we manage bond funds  

We have a large team of bond investment professionals across the world, who all follow the same methodology to design and manage our funds. 

Our teams conduct extensive research and analysis on the organisations that issue bonds, on the bonds themselves, and on the economic environment likely to affect them. This allows the teams to choose bonds that have strong profiles to deliver long-term returns for a given level of risk.

Remember that no investment is without risk

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.
