Welsh pension fund opts for high-octane bonds

New approach aims to make money despite rate rises

Insight Investment, the fixed-income specialist manager bought by BNY Mellon earlier this year, has scooped another client for its absolute-return bonds strategy as investing in this style becomes increasingly popular with pension schemes.

The council pension scheme for Gwynedd, a local authority area in mid-Wales, has invested £130m (€150m) with Insight, according to public tender documents released today.
