“For most fixed income investors in Asia Pacific, 2023 was a year to forget. From rising interest rates to the latest default crisis in China’s high-yield market, the environment was truly unforgiving. PineBridge proved the exception to the rule, however, with its Asia Pacific Investment Grade Bond Fund navigating all of these pitfalls and ultimately delivering an above benchmark return to regional private banking clients,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker.

“The reasons behind this outperformance include the PineBridge Asia Pacific Bond Fund’s single-minded focus on pure investment-grade, US dollar exposure and its strong boots-on-the-ground investing presence in the region. Led by portfolio managers Omar Slim and Andy Suen, the fund harnesses robustly defined bottom-up and top-down research processes that are both adaptable to market conditions and proven in terms of unearthing alpha-generating opportunities.

“The fund’s commendable, risk-adjusted performance is a testament to PineBridge’s rich heritage in Asia Pacific. Asian Private Banker would like to congratulate everyone at PineBridge on their success in the category of Best Fund Provider – Asia Pacific Bond at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence in 2024.”
