Bond indices and ETFs involve structural concentration risks: the more debt a company issues, the higher its weighting in the index. This risk can be avoided through a broad, benchmark-independent investment strategy that enables true diversification. The bond market, with its vast variety of instruments, offers attractive opportunities for flexible investors who are not tied to a benchmark. While there is only one Apple share, there are more than 50 different Apple bonds with significantly varying yields – an advantage for active bond managers that we leverage using our proprietary, independent rating model.
Sustainable investment success doesn’t come from rigid structures such as rating limits – but from the ability to adapt flexibly to changing market conditions. That is the true added value of successful bond funds.

Which strategy is right for me?
Creating value through flexibility in the bond market
Focus on corporate bonds
The transition between investment grade and high yield is marked by structural inefficiencies. As a crossover investor, we actively capitalize on these opportunities through controlled risk, prudent selection, and an average portfolio rating of BBB.
The yield component for bond portfolios
Focus on financials
European banks are better than their reputation. Recent years have been defined by higher capital ratios, lower credit defaults, and stronger margins. Despite these fundamental improvements, subordinated financials continue to offer significantly higher yields compared to other bond segments.
What has proven effective for foundations can also strengthen your retirement provision.
Security – Liquidity – Return: these form the triad of capital investment for foundations. The goal is to preserve the foundation’s assets over the long term while generating sustainable income to fulfill its purpose. The investment principles of foundations are in many ways similar to those of private retirement planning – especially during the withdrawal phase.
After all, anyone who relies on a capital base for ongoing income needs predictable, earned distributions. At Assenagon, we’ve developed a bond strategy tailored to foundations, designed to meet the key criteria they value most.
