Business Strategy

BlueBay was founded to capitalise on strong secular growth trends in the European corporate and global emerging debt markets. Our strategic objective is to be a leading provider of debt products within these markets.

Our business strategy focuses on four key elements; diversified distribution, strong risk-adjusted investment performance, effective risk management and the recruitment and retention of highly-talented individuals. We combine the infrastructure of a mainstream asset manager with the investment focus of a boutique. This ensures our operational capacity keeps pace with asset growth. Our strong, absolute-return mindset runs throughout our product range. We also maintain a solid emphasis on capital preservation and ensure rigorous capacity management.
