US Investment Grade Strategies
At AXA IM, we have a choice of US Investment Grade (IG) strategies to meet your interest rate outlook. Whether you are looking for short term, intermediate or the full maturity spectrum, our investment team has the expertise and experience to meet these needs.
Depth of credit research
We are focused on credit selection and so the investment process needs to be one of teamwork with everyone contributing and challenging investment ideas. This credit-intensive approach could lead to potential outperformance over the long term, mainly from security selection and sector rotation.
Alongside this, our IG investment team works closely with our market-leading US High Yield team to identify potential rising star opportunities. This crossover strategy also benefits from the expertise of our IG analysts, many of whom have prior experience covering high yield credits.
Results-orientated approach
We apply our philosophy within a robust and repeatable investment process which incorporates strong bottom-up security selection with a true top-down driven approach to portfolio construction.
