Buy and maintain credit
Fixed income portfolios specifically designed to meet the cashflow requirements of your liabilities
Global research
We combine rigorous credit selection with analysis of long-term themes such as considering the impact of climate change on borrowers’ business models
Dedicated investment team
Our large and experienced team is dedicated solely to buy and maintain, with no active credit portfolios, allowing them to be highly specialised with a consistent strategy mindset
A credit portfolio not linked to market index returns
A buy and maintain strategy is a cost efficient strategy to harvest the credit risk premium in global credit markets. We aim to select corporate bonds to optimise yield whilst controlling risk and hold them to maturity – replacing holdings if there are credit concerns or the opportunity to enhance yields.
Customised segregated and pooled solutions
We shape our segregated mandates and pooled funds around specific objectives for institutional investors – such as liability cashflow matching, or managing buy-out friendly solutions for pension schemes. All available as either a standalone portfolio or as part of wider hedging programme.
Combining expertise across a £20 billion* business
Our London-based buy and maintain credit investment team brings together credit, derivatives, and solutions expertise from across our fixed income and Schroders Solutions capabilities. They’re backed by research and analysis from our specialist ESG team and proprietary impact tools.
The result is a solutions-focussed, truly global portfolio that’s shaped to deliver for you.
