Many years of experience
Broad expertise in all major asset classes
As an active manager, we have broad expertise in all major asset classes: public bonds, covered bonds, corporate bonds (incl. subordinated bonds) and high yield. Of course, we also consider sustainable aspects of investment and offer strategies in ESG bonds. Our portfolio managers have many years of experience across different phases of the capital market. Even in the low interest rate environment, we succeed in implementing attractive investment strategies for our clients. We manage our mandates individually and based on the wishes and specifications of our clients. Continuous risk management and transparent reporting are a matter of course for us.

Corporates
The importance of the corporate market has increased enormously in recent years and continues to enjoy steady demand.
The attractive risk/return profile of corporates compared to traditional bonds has led to corporates playing an increasingly prominent and important role in the modern asset allocation of investors, with sustainability criteria - as defined by the LAM sustainability filter - playing a prominent role in the investment process.

Global Pensions
For investors looking for an alternative to the extremely low interest rates in the euro zone, the global bond markets of the major industrialized countries offer an attractive alternative with comparable creditworthiness.
The combination of an attractive yield level with low correlating bond and currency markets achieves an attractive risk-reward ratio.
Pensions
Corporate hybrid bonds
The response of many investors to the low level of interest rates is to take greater credit and maturity risks.
As an attractive alternative to this, Lampe Asset Management tapped into the opportunities offered by corporate hybrid bonds more than 15 years ago and was a pioneer in launching a UCITS mutual fund in 2014.
Corporate hybrid bonds are subordinated corporate bonds with both debt and equity-like characteristics. In terms of importance and attention, the asset class of corporate hybrid bonds has been growing at an above-average rate for years and promises a significant additional return for investors compared to traditional fixed-income securities.

Classic pensions
The euro bond market has gained considerably in importance in recent years and continues to be the investment focus for many investors.
In this context, the combination of three sensibly balanced segments geared to customer needs is of particular importance. These are public bonds (government bonds, agencies, supranationals) and the covered bonds and corporate bonds segments.
The aim here is to strike a balance between security and return that is in line with our customers' risk appetite.
Pensions
Sustainable High Yield
The interest rate level for euro-denominated bonds is expected to be kept very low by the central banks for some time to come.
This depresses the return prospects for investments in bonds. However, high-yield securities can meet the often high yield requirements of institutional investors and offer an interesting way out of the low interest rate trap.
