Tackling the fixed income market with an active mindset for long-term outcomes
Overview
Fixed income can provide a rich environment for opportunities, provided you know where to look. We tackle the fixed income market with an active mindset, believing that opportunities can always be uncovered through collaboration and insight. What’s more, as part of our purpose to create a better future through responsible investing, we collectively engage with companies and governments through LGIM’s unified fixed income, equity and investment stewardship teams to strive for better outcomes, both for investors and our rapidly changing world.
Active fixed income at LGIM
Our edge in active investing lies in our conviction that collaborative teams of experts can deliver better outcomes for investors by focusing on alpha generation and sustainability. Discover more about what makes us different below.
Fixed income is an invaluable tool in any investors’ portfolio, whatever their long-term ambition. To support them on this journey, we actively pursue better, sustainable risk-adjusted returns alongside the measurement of the impact of our investment decisions
Responsible Investing
In line with our purpose to create a better future through responsible investing, all of our strategies aim to benefit from LGIM’s broader ESG integration and active engagement. We also offer strategies which more specifically target better long-term outcomes.
Whilst LGIM has integrated Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) considerations into its investment decision-making and stewardship practices, this does not guarantee the achievement of responsible investing goals within funds that do not include specific ESG goals within their objectives.
