Investment Philosophy
We believe that dislocations in emerging markets create opportunities to identify undervalued securities. The strategy aims to exploit such dislocations by:
- Seeking to identify favorable secular and cyclical credit stories
- Capitalizing on relative value opportunities
- Avoiding credit events by investing in bonds that are nearing maturity
The strategy is designed to provide the potential for:
- Stable income generation with historically lower volatility
- Protection from interest rate risk, while still offering attractive total return potential compared to equivalent U.S. Treasuries
- Diversification across the vast EM corporate bond debt market
Our Value Add
- Consistent and rigorous bottom-up analysis, coupled with top-down macroeconomic research to identify issuers with stable, sustainable business models.
- Experienced emerging markets platform comprised of 20 investment professionals averaging 14+ years of investment experience.
