Fixed income manager of the year: Royal London Asset Management

Royal London Asset Management (RLAM) has won Fixed income manager of the year in recognition of its leadership in sustainable investing in the fixed income space, for its deep experience of the sector and the meaningful ESG integration it achieves amid its dealmaking.

RLAM's approach to fixed income investing is rooted in understanding each client's unique business model, regulatory requirements, and investment objectives.

By tailoring solutions to insurers' evolving needs, RLAM ensures alignment with long-term sustainability goals while optimising risk-adjusted returns. For example, the firm has enhanced mandates for insurers by incorporating derivatives, corporate inflation-linked bonds, and advanced hedging techniques, supporting growth strategies and efficient capital deployment.

The firm's flagship RL Sterling Credit Fund and RL Corporate Bond Fund have outperformed benchmarks across multiple time horizons, and have benefited from being backed by an experienced team averaging over 20 years in the industry.
