Approach

Bentham’s global focus provides more investment opportunities and diversity when compared with managers that focus only on domestic fixed income markets. In addition, global markets provide Bentham with greater depth and liquidity.

Bentham draws on a combination of both internal experience and strong relationships with specialist investment managers. Bentham identifies global investment opportunities in different credit sectors, then populates those sectors using bottom-up security selection. Key aspects to Bentham’s approach include relative value asset allocation, appropriate diversification and a respect for market liquidity.
