Sub-asset class specialisms across relative return, total return and alternative investment strategies

The Global Leveraged Finance desk is a large and experienced team of research-oriented investment professionals. Crucially, the team has experience of analyzing credit and investing across multiple credit cycles. This multi-cycle experience is a prerequisite to investing effectively in both rising and falling markets.

The desk is comprised of 26 investment professionals including 9 portfolio managers and 15 credit analysts. The average experience of the portfolio management desk is over 16 years and is one of the most accomplished in the marketplace.

Global Investment Grade desk

The strength of the Global Investment Grade desk stems from the quality and size of our team – we have a large, well-resourced team of professionals with deep experience and knowledge of developed market economies both on the macro and credit side.

Global Convertible Fixed Income desk

There are ten members of the BlueBay Convertible Fixed Income desk. Our portfolio managers have a combined 40 years' investment experience and our dedicated team of analysts brings a combination of equity, convertible bond and distressed expertise to the desk.

The six-stage investment process incorporates our macroeconomic outlook, fundamental company analysis and relative value skills to construct a balanced and diverse portfolio.

Structured Credit desk

Structured credit is an important sub-asset class and is supported by one of the largest and most experienced fixed income research teams globally. The Structured Credit desk is managed by Sid Chhabra, Head of Structured Credit and CLO Management.

Multi-Asset Credit desk

Multi-asset credit provides the flexibility to be able to capture returns in attractive conditions, while seeking to provide downside protection when markets turn. We believe this investment management strategy represents an attractive asset allocation risk/return profile.

Our expertise across the fixed income spectrum and diverse investment styles mean that we can harness ideas across investment grade, global high yield, structured credit, loans, cocos, convertible bonds and emerging markets.

The overall strategies are managed by BlueBay’s Multi-Asset Decision Group, which comprises a team of senior investment professionals.
