Application and Potential Benefits
Global Opportunistic Credit may be worth considering for investors who are looking to:
We believe income will continue to play an outsized role in investors’ returns this year, but a key question is how to intelligently de-risk portfolios without sacrificing yield. With volatility set to persist, we expect these dynamics could create opportunities in Global Opportunistic Credit, which seeks to capitalize on individual credits and issuers adjusting to evolving business conditions through multi-asset credit exposure.
PineBridge Global Opportunistic Credit (GOC) is a “best ideas” global multi-asset credit strategy. It seeks attractive risk-adjusted returns from the idiosyncratic risks of individual credits and issuers. To do this, it invests opportunistically across the spectrum of sub-investment-grade credit through an active, long-only, credit-focused approach.

We believe global fixed income markets are constantly evolving, creating inefficiencies that cause prices to dislocate from their fair value. We seek to capitalize on these inefficiencies by investing in a countercyclical manner over a credit cycle through a disciplined, research-driven investment approach. Central to our approach is bottom-up credit analysis and security selection, which we use to uncover securities that we believe are priced inefficiently.
The strategy leverages idiosyncratic risks from the credit cycle and shifts between core and tactical allocations to seek the most attractive risk-adjusted returns.
