Euro credit

Corporate credits – with an investment grade rating

Objective

We aim to earn an attractive total return over the longer term while lowering the carbon footprint. We invest primarily in Euro-denominated corporate credits – that have a minimum BBB- investment-grade rating and are demonstrably aligned with the transition to a sustainable economy.

Philosophy 

In our view:
  • the European investment-grade market is inefficient and contains mispricings which can be identified and traded;
  • an active investment and risk management approach is best placed to secure attractive yields for investors, as well as create and preserve additional value by capitalising on these mispricings; and
  • businesses demonstrably aligned with the transition to a sustainable economy are likely to be more resilient – and therefore better credits – over the long term.

Approach

Our experienced team follows a systematic process that blends quantitative and qualitive expertise and experience and seeks to:
  • identify corporate issuers where the potential for credit profile enhancement is not yet reflected in the spreads and avoid those where we anticipate credit deterioration;
  • apply an active top-down and bottom-up approach to macro and fundamentals analysis to construct and risk manage a diversified portfolio of credits; and
  • focus on a sub-set of issuers demonstrably aligned with the transition to a sustainable economy, including on carbon-intensity metrics.

Generating sustainable Alpha

Credit markets are notoriously unpredictable and delivering a steady investment journey over the long-term is a challenge for every credit investor. We tackle this using a distinctive investment approach we call ‘Alpha by Control’. While we actively seek out opportunities to deliver alpha, our approach is also optimised to control risks.
