Meet the Global Fixed Income Team
We are a stable and experienced portfolio management team supported by a comprehensive global sovereign and credit research team that seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. Clients in over 20 countries have entrusted us over the years to manage their global fixed income allocations.
For a deeper dive into how the team works, please watch the video.
Our Differentiators
Experience
We combine a two-decade consistent and experienced portfolio management team with a well-resourced, long-tenured global research team.
Culture & Size
Our distinctive sector team approach helps to drive high frequency information flow, debate and best idea generation between the investment team, research, and trading; we have sizable firm AUM but not so large that we cannot execute on best ideas.
Proprietary Tools & Technology
We do not rely on third party technology which differentiates us in our ability to link research to investment decisions.
Our Philosophy & Investment Process
Driven by Fundamental Research
We believe fundamental research is a key to unlocking value. But it is just the beginning of a well-formed investment idea. Valuation and technical considerations are critical to the overall assessment of any opportunity in our view.
Therefore we leverage our strengths in Loomis Sayles’ extensive, leading research and sector team knowledge and experience to identify compelling ideas.
Carry Advantage
We believe relative outperformance can be harvested via a variety of investment strategies that build in yield potential over the benchmark.
Therefore we seek a diversified carry advantage in a variety of spread, treasury and currency markets supported by global research depth and breadth.
Opportunistic
We believe in dynamically flexing active risks – proactively and defensively – when appropriate, to help capture available risk premiums across global fixed income markets.
Therefore we patiently wait for attractive opportunities and never overextend the portfolio when markets are not compensating investors with appropriate spreads and yields.
Why Loomis Sayles Global Fixed Income?
We combine world-class research with disciplined, diversified strategies to uncover opportunities across global fixed income markets.
Leveraging Loomis Sayles’ deep experience in credit, securitized, macro, sovereign, and quantitative analysis, we seek to outperform benchmarks through thoughtful positioning in credit, currencies, and yield curves. Guided by patience and experience, we flex risk opportunistically—capturing value when markets present it while prioritizing portfolio resilience during volatility.
“The temptation is always there to chase fads, but philosophy and process matter most. Clients know our style is opportunistic, so patience is required over the full economic or credit cycle.”
