Investment grade fixed income

SLC Fixed Income

SLC Fixed Income is the investment grade fixed income business of SLC Management. 

We partner with institutional investors across the globe, investing for you and alongside you. We help our clients optimize their asset allocation profile, and meet their long-term income and capital appreciation objectives by leveraging our expertise in investment grade public and private fixed income, liability-driven investing, insurance asset management and our long tenure managing bespoke portfolios.

In partnership with the SLC Management companies, BGO, Crescent Capital Group and InfraRed Capital Partners, we can combine our investment capabilities across public and private fixed income, real estate equity and debt, and infrastructure equity to enhance the value that we bring clients.

Investment grade public fixed income

Fixed income markets, like most over-the-counter investment markets, are inefficient. These inefficiencies are amplified during periods of increased market volatility, leading to opportunities for active managers to add value by identifying inconsistent pricing between individual issuers, industry sectors or even geographies. We aim to exploit these inconsistencies to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns for our clients.

Investment grade private fixed income

We believe that private credit markets offer investors the potential for excess spread and diversification through specialized transactions and niche sectors.
