Mirabaud Global Emerging Market Bond Strategy

An unconstrained, 'best ideas' strategy that invests in a combination of hard and local currency emerging market bonds.

Emerging markets (EM) are growing rapidly and we believe are set to drive growth. Within Mirabaud Global Emerging Market Debt, we invest across the entire EM debt sector, which gives us the flexibility to navigate changing marketing conditions.We create balance within the portfolio by blending:

Flexibility — Dynamically investing across sovereign and corporate debt (local and hard currency).
Quality — An emphasis on countries with strong balance sheets and corporates with flexible business models.
Liquidity — For increased flexibility in different market environments.

Our top-down, macro view informs dynamic allocations across the different geographies and sectors, moving between credit and duration risk.

Bottom-up analysis incorporates fundamental, technical and valuation (FTV) factors, along with ESG integration to help us identify strong, sustainable opportunities. We mitigate down markets with an active hedging process.
