Credit Investing
Active credit solutions designed for income and stability through ever changing markets.
About Credit Investing
Credit investing offers access to debt issued by governments and companies across global fixed income markets, including investment grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds and emerging market debt strategies.
By lending to issuers for regular income, credit investing plays a vital role in building resilient, income-focused portfolios. In today’s shifting macro, regulatory and geopolitical environment, active management and disciplined credit selection are essential.
Why Invest in Credit?
Income generation
Credit investing can provide a steady income stream through interest payments, making it attractive for investors seeking regular income alongside long‑term capital growth potential.
Diverse opportunity set
The global credit market is large and diverse with a wide range of issuers across industry sectors and different risk levels. Investors can allocate to investment grade corporate bonds, high yield bonds and emerging market debt to meet different objectives.
Portfolio stability
Adding a credit allocation can enhance diversification and portfolio stability, as fixed income returns are typically more stable than higher risk assets such as equities across market cycles.
