Fixed income markets have changed dramatically since the global financial crisis, with unconventional monetary policy keeping yields low for traditional fixed income sectors. This has prompted many investors to seek wider spreads and higher yields through credit sectors, including exposure to less-liquid markets, such as private credit.

Flexible Credit harnesses these dynamics by looking for the most compelling investments in both public and private credit markets, with the goal of delivering attractive risk-adjusted returns.
