Flexibility. Always.

In a challenging low yield environment, maintaining a flexible mind-set is key.

At Nordea, we believe flexibility matters.

The current environment is extremely challenging for fixed income investors:

  • A changing macro environment is driven by monetary policies
  • Flexibility is a must to navigate this volatile market environment
  • Protection during downturns is at jeopardy due to high correlations between assets

Data source: Bloomberg. Period under consideration 31.12.1990 to 31.03.2020. 

A new approach to diversify fixed income portfolios is needed:

  • Unconstrained instead of benchmark oriented: we allocate flexibly between government bonds, credit, emerging markets and currencies in order to navigate volatile markets
  • With a global reach: we find opportunities wherever they are
  • Balanced: we avoid excessive duration (lower protection) and credit risk (defaults, liquidity)
