L&G Unconstrained Bond Strategies

Expertise that endures, strategies that adapt.

Why Unconstrained Bond Strategies​

In a market environment of uncertain interest rate change cycles, we think strategies that are nimble and quick to adapt can outperform their constrained, benchmarked counterparts. ​

Our unconstrained approach which is benchmark agnostic can help investors navigate this environment and capture a wider opportunity set. ​

Key features:

A Glance at the Strategy Range

Our unconstrained strategies are designed to cater to investors’ ranging appetite for risk and return. ​

Below indicates the illustrative risk/return profile for part of the strategy range*:

*May vary depending on market conditions. On an aspirational basis rather than explicit target. Past performance is not a guide to the future. The value of investments and any income taken from it is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up, and the investor may get back less than the original amount invested. For illustrative purposes only. Subject to change at any point and cannot be relied upon.
