    369: Unpacking unconstrained strategies
    2025/06/12
    What does it mean when we say an active fixed income strategy is “unconstrained”? What difference does it make when a fund is not tied to a benchmark? And what is it about the present moment that could make this an attractive option for navigating market volatility?

    To answer these questions and give his insights into what could determine performance in fixed income for the rest of the year, this week we’re joined by Enda Mulry, Portfolio Manager in our Global Bond Strategies team.

    This episode is hosted by Andrew Lowry, European Content Manager.

    368: As above, so below: The case for crossover private credit
    2025/06/06
    This week, we tackle part of the private credit universe that doesn’t
    often get much airtime. That’s ‘crossover credit’ – or in other
    words, the part of the market that sits between investment-grade and
    sub-investment-grade credit.

    Talking us through this episode is Stu Hitchcock, L&G’s Head of
    Private Credit Portfolio Management. Stu addresses the size of the
    crossover market, the types of deals that may utilise this form of
    credit and how it may fit into a portfolio.

    Asking the questions is Nick Jardine, Content Manager for L&G’s
    Private Markets platform.
