Watch the latest webinar recording with James McAlevey, Head of Global Aggregate and Absolute Return, as he introduces the investment strategy and outlines the case for the BNP Paribas Global Absolute Return Bond Trust.
We believe GARB should form a core, stable part of a diversified fixed income portfolio.
Here’s why:
- Compelling risk-returns. Absolute return bonds offer an attractive risk-return profile, which compares favourably to other fixed income assets over the long term.
- The investment team focuses on capital preservation, by building a portfolio designed to perform across a range of risk scenarios.
- Volatility suits us. The strategy can exploit volatility through its directional duration or spread positions and finding the most attractive relative value opportunities.
- Diversification is key. Investing across the fixed income universe using an unconstrained approach means performance is derived from multiple fixed income return streams.
- Low correlation to traditional fixed income sectors could enhance your portfolio’s risk-return profile.
The live webinar and recording took place on Monday, 21 July 2025.
