Fixed income

Corporate pensions seeking to achieve positive returns with historically lower risk than other asset classes are utilizing fixed income strategies such as Liability Driven investing (LDI) within their broader portfolio.

With Rick Rieder as BlackRock’s Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income, BlackRock helps investors navigate the entire fixed income spectrum - from active & index, public to private, fundamental & systematic - to help deliver better outcomes, convenience, value and transparency for our clients.
