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.
