Our fixed income capabilities
Our emerging market bond strategies seek to capture the most compelling opportunities across the emerging market debt universe, including hard currency government bonds, local currency bonds and corporate bonds. Drawing on our global research coverage, our emerging market bond funds take a highly flexible and active approach, which is not constrained by their benchmark.
Flexible bond funds have the freedom to invest across a wide spectrum of fixed income asset classes, with the fund manager able to adjust portfolio positioning depending on the economic backdrop. Through their more flexible approach, these strategies are designed to perform in a variety of market environments.
Issued by companies with a sub-investment grade credit rating, high yield bonds typically provide a higher level of income in order to compensate investors for the greater risk of default. M&G has long-running experience in this specialist field, having launched the UK’s first high yield corporate bond fund in 1998. More recently. we launched a highly innovative floating rate high yield strategy, designed to mitigate the negative impact of rising interest rates.
