Established manager of Asian bonds with long-term track record in delivering returns through multiple sources of alpha using both top-down and bottom-up strategies.
Our investment philosophy is premised on our belief that markets are dynamic, often prone to economic “noise” and inefficiencies. Outperformance can be achieved through a systematic application of proprietary top-down macro and bottom-up credit research.
Nikko AM has a long history of managing Asian fixed income. Having established our first Asian bond strategy in 1982, we are one of the pioneers in the Asian fixed income space.
Our long standing capabilities have reaped us multiple industry awards and accolades over the years. Our firm has been recognised for its potential for investors within the region, and consistently won awards between 2015 to 2021 from the Asset Benchmark Research Awards.
Our team also boasts several portfolio managers who have received industry recognition for their astute investing.
We have one of the largest dedicated Asian Fixed Income teams, with 16 investment professionals averaging 13 years of experience in Asian markets. Members of the team come from multi-national backgrounds, and this allows us to understand and converse in local languages and diverse cultures within the region.
Our portfolio managers and research analysts have honed a strong appreciation for the idiosyncratic characteristics of individual countries and sectors while successfully navigating our funds through various market cycles.
Our proprietary Fundamental, Valuation and Technical (FVT) Framework, which is applied to our top-down and bottom-up research, is the backbone for which we construct high conviction portfolios that seek to deliver returns through multiple sources of alpha.
This time-honed credit research and independent internal credit rating (ICR) model is where we differentiate ourselves.
Kho Tat Wei, Head of Credit Research of our Asian Fixed Income team, describes the trend of structuring bonds with sustainability link going mainstream. He outlines the importance of ESG analysis that supplements our fundamental research, investing in companies that are sustainably positioned for the long term.
