Global Fixed Income Team

Henrietta Pacquement: The Global Fixed Income team seeks to unlock relative value opportunities across the global fixed income markets. The team combines a global macro approach for interest rates and currency with fundamental disciplined security selection for credit. We believe this really has the ability to maximize total returns over the long run. Our Global Bond strategies target outperformance through interest rates and currency positioning. They blend quantitative factors developed in collaboration with the Allspring Systematic Fixed Income team with qualitative oversight. This quantamental approach is our edge. We exploit global inefficiencies by accessing a broad opportunity set, covering 40 interest rate environments and 30 currencies across both developing and emerging markets. Viewing both bond and currency factors provides a structured view of the world for portfolio construction and idea generation. Our Credit Focused strategies target outperformance through security selection. They rely on close collaboration with the Allspring Global Fixed Income Research platform to identify investment opportunities in the investment grade space. We believe that rigorous fundamental research focused on credit worthiness, coupled with well-considered relative valuations, generates the best risk-adjusted returns. A deep understanding of sectors, industries, and corporations allows our team to identify and target market opportunities.
