Lombard Odier and BlueBay collaborate on the introduction of an actively managed bond fund
In an exciting development, Lombard Odier, a leading global private banking and wealth management group, has expanded its PrivilEdge open architecture platform with a new global government bond fund managed by RBC BlueBay.
The PrivilEdge - BlueBay Investment Grade Global Government Bonds fund aims to outperform the Bloomberg Global Treasury Total Return Index (USD hedged). This actively managed fund offers clients an exposure to a diversified portfolio of global government bonds, with a focus on investment-grade sovereign debt.
RBC BlueBay, a partner of Lombard Odier, is renowned for its expertise in active management strategies. The team of managers, supported by over 120 investment professionals within BlueBay's $130 billion fixed income platform, employs a unique approach that combines fundamental and ESG analysis with multivariate alpha modelling. This strategy is built on BlueBay's macroeconomic research and is designed to manage risk through a proprietary framework that targets a 0-2% tracking error.
The managers also leverage direct interactions with policymakers in both developed and emerging markets to anticipate opportunities and market inefficiencies. This approach allows them to make informed decisions and position the portfolio accordingly.
Each fund on the Lombard Odier PrivilEdge platform is available in multiple share classes, providing flexibility for investors. The PrivilEdge - BlueBay Investment Grade Global Government Bonds fund, like other funds on the platform, is dealt with daily. However, the exact launch date and fund size are not specified in the available data.
Maxime Perrin, head of open architecture at Lombard Odier, commented on the platform's evolution to reflect investor needs. Mike Reed, head of global financial institutions at RBC BlueBay, expressed enthusiasm about the expanded partnership with Lombard Odier. Both parties look forward to supporting Lombard Odier's clients via the PrivilEdge platform.
While the performance of the PrivilEdge - BlueBay Investment Grade Global Government Bonds fund since its launch is not available in the provided search results, for precise performance figures, it is recommended to refer to official fund documentation or the PrivilEdge platform directly.
