Systematic credit is still a small part of fixed income, but its portfolio role is growing. For credit allocators, it can offer a disciplined and differentiated source of diversification.
Systematic investing is well established in equity allocations, but fixed income has seen slower adoption. This creates meaningful opportunity, particularly as the same broad portfolio benefits that have supported systematic equity investing such as discipline, breadth, diversification, customizability and repeatability also apply to systematic credit investing. As the amount and quality of data improves, electronic trading expands and technology advances, we see systematic credit becoming more accessible and more compelling for client portfolios.
