A closer look at the outcome
A diversified, high conviction portfolio is the result of a multiple-manager investment team selecting the best ideas from the global fixed income opportunity set.
The team works closely with the Risk and Quantitative Solutions Group (RQS) to scenario test the proposed portfolio and select diversifying strategies to add or reduce expected portfolio volatility.

Capital Group Global Total Return Bond strategy
The backdrop of global economic uncertainty means that interest rates are set to remain lower and investors may be tempted to look towards higher-yielding solutions. However, allocations need to account for market conditions and keep risks in check.
This outlook means it’s the right time to consider a globally diversified, total return approach benefiting from a portfolio of only high conviction ideas within a disciplined volatility framework.
