This is a financial promotion for The First Sentier Asian Fixed Income Strategy. This information is for professional clients only in the EEA and elsewhere where lawful. Investing involves certain risks including:

  • The value of investments and any income from them may go down as well as up and are not guaranteed. Investors may get back significantly less than the original amount invested.
  • Credit risk: The issuers of bonds or similar investments may not pay income or repay capital when due. 
  • Charges to capital risk: The fees and expenses may be charged against the capital property. Deducting expenses from capital reduces the potential for capital growth.
  • Single country / specific region risk: investing in a single country or specific region may be riskier than investing in a number of different countries or regions. Investing in a larger number of countries or regions helps spread risk. 
  • Below investment grade risk: Below investment grade debt securities are speculative and involve a greater risk of default and price changes than investment grade debt securities due to changes in the issuer’s creditworthiness. In periods of general economic difficulty, the market prices may fluctuate and decline significantly.
  • Interest rate risk: bond prices have an inverse relationship with interest rates such that when interest rates rise, bonds may fall in value. Rising interest rates may cause the value of your investment to fall. 
  • Emerging market risk: Emerging markets tend to be more sensitive to economic and political conditions than developed markets. Other factors include greater liquidity risk, restrictions on investment or transfer of assets, failed/delayed settlement and difficulties valuing securities.

Opportunity within fast growing and diverse economies

Having witnessed an unrivalled transformation and expansion over the last decade, we believe Asian markets are set to become the economic engine of the world.

Investors have the opportunity to benefit from this increasingly diversified asset class, with ample liquidity and volatility akin to that of developed markets.

Our difference

A proven and differentiated investment philosophy:

We consider risk management as key to our philosophy, and one that permeates every stage of our investment process. We follow a prudent investment approach which aims to achieve consistent income generation and risk-adjusted returns. Country selection reflects the output of our Asian markets assessment which includes quantitative and qualitative analysis. Duration and yield curve management reflect our thematic, factor based approach.

Consistent long-term performance track record:

Positive risk-adjusted returns generated over 3-5 year time horizons.

World-class ESG integration:

We have a vigorous Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) process that is built in at both the company and product level. More importantly, ESG risk factors are an important consideration in the assignment of credit ratings on individual issuers.

Multi-dimensional credit research:

Credit research focuses on assessing credit risk and identifying deteriorating issuers. Our analysis considers a variety of risk dimensions, enabling significant breadth.

All positions in our portfolio are backed by research

We are stewards of our clients’ capital, and we take that very seriously. 

We believe that successful fixed income investing requires a deep focus on risk management, given the inherently asymmetric nature of the investments. For this reason every position in the portfolio is backed by in-depth research.  Identifying rating  migration and defaults is as important as finding relative value opportunities. 

How do I use Asia Fixed Income in my portfolio?

We stand at a juncture where we believe Asian Fixed Income should be considered a strategic and complementary allocation when constructing a portfolio. Our diverse clients around the world have a wide variety of investment goals and challenges we like to help them solve.

Our approach to investing is driven by a commitment to providing the best possible outcomes over the long term for our clients. The team considers ESG factors relative to their potential impact on financial performance. We believe that ESG issues have a significant bearing on risk.
