Will Government Debt be the Next Big Thing for Bond Markets?

23 SEPTEMBER 2024 Global Fixed Income Team

As a rule, deficits do not matter until they suddenly do. Across DM economies, a broad pattern of structural and cyclical debt and deficit deterioration may point to a future of slower growth, higher taxes, and steeper and more volatile yield curves. Going forward, a narrow focus on central bank interest rate cuts may be an inadequate guide to the performance of longer-duration securities.

Driven by Fundamental Research

We believe fundamental research is a key to unlocking value. But it is just the beginning. 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 expertise 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 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 seek to minimize a portfolio's  outsized drawdown risk of any single investment strategy, while positioning for potential outperformance during volatile markets.

Security Selection Driven by World-class Research

Everything begins with deep, proprietary fundamental research. We leverage Loomis Sayles’ well-known credit, securitized, macro, sovereign, and quantitative research resources to better understand market opportunities and risks.

Diversified & Disciplined 



To seek to outperform global fixed income benchmarks, we leverage our experience and investment skill to help drive appropriate risk-adjusted positioning in credit, currencies, and yield curves across a broad variety of sectors and countries.


Opportunistic 

We are patient, disciplined investors who are committed to finding value when markets present it. Drawing upon decades of experience, we are comfortable flexing our risk exposure seeking to outperform when markets offer potential value while minimizing risk to  portfolios during periods of volatility.
