Fixed Income
Brandywine believes it can seize opportunities and aim for long-term returns through strict adherence to its value-driven process by concentrating portfolio assets in countries and currencies that meet its definition of value.

As a result, when looking at fixed income markets, Brandywine will focus on:

- Manages currency to increase returns
- Rotating among countries to find the best value in fixed income markets around the globe
- Controlling risk through the purchase of undervalued securities.
