Corporate Bonds

Danske Capital’s management of investment grade corporate portfolios is based on our objective and ability to add value from three elements: rating strategy, sector allocation and the selection of securities.

Our ability to add value and the basic theme, which drives our investment approach, derive from having a dynamic and situation-adjusted risk allocation process. The aim is to outperform the Corporate Investment Grade Benchmark by 50 bps.

Product details

The Investment Process can be divided into three phases.

The first being the research phase, which is initiated by a top-down assessment of the macroeconomic environment. This will essentially lead to an identification of the most attractive rating classes and sectors. The most attractive individual securities are identified based upon a combination of valuation and a credit research process.

The second phase is the decision phase in which all findings from the research phase are evaluated and held up against each other. At bi-weekly meetings strategy changes are discussed and documented.

The third stage is the construction phase in which the optimal mix of risk and return will determine the weight assigned to each strategy and essentially the weight of each security. Dynamic risk-diversification and flexibility are the most important factors at this stage.
