Beyond the market spread: Finding hidden value in a more selective credit market

In a world of tighter spreads, attractive credit opportunities still exist—but increasingly they are found through fundamental research, selectivity and a willingness to look beyond conventional benchmarks and ratings:

Credit spreads remain relatively tight by historical standards, making selectivity increasingly important for investors. Yet credit markets are not always efficient. Benchmark constraints, ratings-driven investing and a growing focus on liquidity can create opportunities where fundamentally attractive securities become overlooked, misunderstood or mispriced. Join Paola Binns, Head of Credit at Royal London Asset Management, as she explores how active, fundamental research can help identify more resilient issuers, uncover hidden value and build portfolios positioned to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns. The session will examine how investors can look beyond headline credit metrics to find opportunities in today's market environment.

Multi Asset Credit – Separating credit allocation from government bonds

The TwentyFour Multi-Asset Credit Fund offers a flexible approach by investing across a broad range of credit opportunities, enabling it to adapt to changing market conditions, seek attractive income opportunities, and potentially deliver more resilient risk-adjusted returns. This approach may be particularly appealing to investors who prefer to manage their government bond exposure separately, allowing a multi-asset credit strategy to focus on credit selection and relative value opportunities across the credit universe.
