Fixed income
We have developed a wide range of fixed income products focused on meeting the varied needs of investors. Our team combines dedicated specialists in the full range of fixed income assets. In line with Threadneedle's wider culture of communication, the whole fixed income team participates in idea generation, with discussion and debate producing sharper insights and trade ideas.
Our fund range covers the full spectrum of fixed income markets:
- Government.
- Corporate.
- High Yield.
- Emerging Markets.
- Absolute Return.
- Currencies.
- Asset-backed.
We bring this expertise to investors via OEIC, SICAV and hedge fund structures as well as pooled and segregated pension portfolios. Single strategy or asset allocation funds are available in active and passive forms.
Our approach
We believe that fixed income markets are driven by three factors, and analysis of these factors forms the basis of our approach:
Fundamental
- The macro-economic background and outlook is a key driver of bond and currency markets.
- Credit fundamentals, strategic and business issues as well as current and projected company financials affect credit spreads.
- Event risks such as unexpected corporate activity or political developments can impact investor sentiment and therefore valuations.
Structural
- We seek to understand and anticipate the actions of major market participants.
- Liquidity and trading costs vary through the cycle and we build these considerations into our investment strategy.
- Technical studies can help us to identify changing market trends.
Valuation
- We assess valuations in an absolute sense and relative to other assets.
- Our managers also have a keen awareness of the impact of volatility on prices.
Analysis of these market drivers highlights opportunities for our managers to create alpha. We then allocate active risk wherever we see the best source of performance. This approach has helped Threadneedle to build a strong reputation in the field of fixed income.
