Fixed Income mandates

Through the management of the insurance proprietary assets of the Swiss Life group, Swiss Life Asset Management has acquired a robust experience and skills in interest rate management.

The Fixed Income Team has implemented a comprehensive structured investment process on credit and government bond funds. Risk management is a key topic in this process.

Our methodology is about decorrelating decisions from irrational market moves, and even taking advantage of them. Simply, it seeks out the true reward of risk.

Our investment process exploits multiple sources of added-value and aims to deliver stable returns. We begin with a top down assessment drawing on proprietary models assessing macro fundamentals by monitoring economic cycles and investment themes.

Cornerstones of our philosophy

• Top down approach backed by quantitative models. But final investment decisions must always comply with our fundamental views
  
• Clear strategies based on clear analysis and implemented with clear financial instruments
  
• Disciplined implementation process with limited room for manoeuvre
  
• Risk controlling a central topic: risk department involved at every stage of the investment process
