Nordea Asset Management (NAM) has expanded its fund range with the launch of the Nordea 2-BetaPlus Enhanced US corporate bond fund, the firm’s first systematic fixed income fund.
The strategy applies the firm’s BetaPlus framework to the US investment-grade corporate bond universe, combining systematic security selection with disciplined portfolio construction and risk management.
Asbjørn Trolle Hansen, head of multi assets at NAM, said: “After several years of research and development, we have now launched our first quantitative fixed income strategy.
“Our next step will be to expand the approach to global credit markets and increase active risk levels.”
The launch follows the Nordea team’s efforts to expand into systematic fixed income investing, after appointing Lucette Yvernault and Marton Huebler in October last year.
