Fixed Income & FXThe Fixed Income & FX team is composed of portfolio managers and analysts specialized on issuer and financial instrument type (money markets, government bonds, emerging markets bonds, corporate bonds and currencies).
Fixed income funds follow an approach that combines top-down and bottom-up analyses.
The investment process of government bonds products is typically top-down, that is based on the analysis of valuation models aggregated for market typology and based on the expected course of economic cycle, interest rates and inflation. Allocation decisions in terms of portfolio duration, exposure to single countries and various maturities of the yield curve derive from these analyses.
The investment process of non government bonds products combines the economic cycle analysis (top-down approach) to the in-depth study of single companies (bottom-up approach), with the aim of assessing issuers’ credit risk.

Strategic and tactical asset allocation portfolios are geared both to supporting internal investment processes and to providing advice for external clients. In addition, the team works on the elaboration and implementation of ex-ante simulation methodologies for investment products and services.
Wealth management is based on a distribution of assets among different macro classes. Fund managers, as part of their mandate and in function of the different investment profiles, make tactical asset allocation choices for the individual components based on macroeconomic, fundamentals, and technical analyses.
Sustainable strategies provide for both the management of portfolios based on financial sustainability or ESG logics, and the monitoring of issuers with respect to ESG and SRI themes. The selection of third-company mangers is made based on a strict quantitative analysis of the performances and risk profiles of the various funds, and on direct and deep qualitative knowledge of the asset managers, with the aim of identifying the best solutions for the management of multimanager products.
