Fixed Income

Fixed income securities like corporate and government bonds and convertible instruments seek to optimize investor return beyond the stated fixed rate of return. By analyzing macroeconomic trends, currency fluctuation, credit risk and valuation spreads over short and long term investment timeframes, these funds seek to uncover investment value and opportunity not originally factored into the fixed income return. Portfolios cover all major markets and emerging markets.

Credit Suisse has always been a pioneer in the development of the fixed income market: back in the 1980s the firm was involved at the start of the Eurobond market and was one of the first to offer a US high yield product. In more recent times, Credit Suisse has been among the companies with the longest track records in managing the new asset classes within Euroland. The success of Credit Suisse's asset management business is clearly measured by our solid performance track record over the years. Our global perspective, combined with local market presence and proprietary interest rate, currency and credit research, are among the factors that give us our competitive advantage.
