UK Fixed Income
The Aberdeen Group have been managing UK fixed income for over 40 years. Initially, this was predominantly in the gilt market but with the development of the credit market since the mid-1990s, our range of products has evolved to include the management of credit and customized/aggregate UK fixed income portfolios, and more recently we have developed liability and cashflow matching solutions for our clients.
Our fixed income structure comprises four research teams who are charged with generating investment ideas and outperformance in their area of specialization. These teams are:
- global interest rates for country allocations, duration and yield curve positions;
- currency for exchange rate positions;
- investment grade credit for issue selection within the investment grade non-government bond universe;
- sub-investment grade debt for managing exposure to global high yield and emerging markets debt.
The portfolio selection team is responsible for the asset allocation across these alpha sources, and for finding the optimal blend to deliver the targeted outperformance.
