PM Spotlight: The Right Time for Multi-Sector Global Income
Noah Wise and Sarah Harrison are two of Allspring’s fixed income portfolio managers and part of the award-winning team behind the launch of Allspring’s Global Income strategy.
Key takeaways
- Global Income is a flexible multi-sector global bond strategy that opportunistically sources the best investment ideas across the firm’s global fixed income platform.
- Over the past five years, the U.S. version of the strategy has been in the top quartile of its eVestment category in terms of absolute return and Sharpe ratio.
- Three key components differentiate the strategy: our six-month outlook, how we apply this outlook across the entire portfolio, and our unbiased approach to the portfolio.
