“For investors in the US bond fixed income market in 2023, there was no shortage of headwinds, ranging from multi-decade high inflation to a regional bank liquidity crisis at the start of the year, to an aggressive Federal Reserve hiking cycle. But Neuberger Berman’s flagship Strategic Income Fund proved deft in navigating all of these obstacles and delivered above benchmark returns to private bank clients in Asia Pacific,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker.

“The recipe for this success lies in the strategy’s approach of investing across the entire US market spectrum with a relative-value, conviction-oriented approach that focuses on mispricings in specific sectors. Doing so allows the Strategic Income Fund’s managers to adeptly and fluidly switch between opportunities depending on underlying market conditions.

“That approach, combined with a highly experienced and stable portfolio management and analysis team, resulted in robust demand from the region’s private banking channel in 2023. For these reasons and more, Asian Private Banker would like to congratulate Neuberger Berman on its success in the category of Best Fund Provider – US Bond at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2024.”
