Delivering the outcomes that matter most to you

In the last Bond Voyage edition of 2025, we examine the vast amounts of capital being deployed to build new high-capacity data centres and how the expenditure is being funded in the bond markets.

In 2024, we outlined our view on the most important public-policy interventions to unlock private investment in the low-carbon economy. In this update, we take stock of policy developments since, and look ahead to 2026 and beyond.

Discover why purposeful run-on is emerging as a credible alternative to buyout for well-funded defined benefit (DB) pension schemes – and how it can unlock long-term value while keeping clients' needs at the centre.

Significant shifts in the defined benefit (DB) pension schemes landscape mean that as schemes mature, trustees and sponsors now face a broader spectrum of strategic choices. We explain why the choice between buyout and run-on is no longer binary.

Market and economic trends are challenging the idea that emerging market (EM) bonds should trade at a discount to developed economy debt.

Global equity income portfolio manager Richard Saldanha explains why investors need to tune out the endless stream of headlines to focus on what's within their control.

Having crunched the data, our private markets research team looks at how evolving macro conditions are impacting private debt returns.

This month’s Bond Voyage looks at the Bulk Purchase Annuity (BPA) market in the UK – the quiet market making loud moves.

Financial flows shall be “consistent with low greenhouse-gas emissions and climate-resilient development”, according to Article 2.1.c of the Paris Agreement. Yet most finance continues to flow to business as usual. How can this change?

In the third of our global equity sector hub discussions, Joanna Tucka, healthcare sector hub lead, and Richard Saldanha, global equity portfolio manager, explore why all is not doom and gloom in healthcare.

In this month’s Bond Voyage, we introduce SHIELD – the downside protection framework used by our fixed income division. SHIELD is designed to ensure our portfolios remain resilient in challenging market conditions while maintaining capital efficiency.

Asset-based finance is capturing the attention of institutional investors – from pension schemes to insurers – thanks to its diverse risk-return drivers and its growing role as a strategic building block in investors’ portfolios.

Holistic stewardship across corporates, value chains, and sovereigns is essential to shaping viable, investable climate transitions. But its focus must now move beyond targets to the real-world delivery needed to make those targets achievable.

Vital industries for UK growth like steel or cement are also energy intensive, and their decarbonisation is essential. We convened a roundtable of experts to discuss barriers and solutions to unlocking low-carbon investment opportunities.

In this month’s Bond Voyage, our Solutions team investigates the reasons behind the widening gilt-swap spread and its implications for government bond investors, in particular for insurance companies.

The UK government has published a raft of policies and action plans on decarbonisation over the past 12 months. We assess the progress to date and discuss what remains to be done.
