Why Dynamic Allocation in Credit Matters  

• Allocators increasingly seek flexible credit strategies that can adapt quickly to an environment of shorter and more frequent market dislocations.
• Many investors lack the infrastructure to underwrite each credit sector or react quickly to market changes.
• GMO’s nimbleness and focus on margin of safety allow us to capitalize on short-lived dislocations.

Distinctive Attributes  

• GMO’s investment philosophy emphasizes agility, high conviction, and an unconventional value-driven approach to investing in core credit asset classes.
• GMO’s 30-year track record in emerging debt investing adds diversification beyond typical U.S.-centric credit risks.
• A top-down, bottom-up allocation framework integrates proprietary models, with both quantitative and fundamental analysis to guide portfolio construction.
