Focus on Innovative Sector Leaders
The Nordic high yield market is well-suited for active management. The market is only partially transparent, and significant opportunities arise from time to time. Identifying innovative sector leaders, combined with a strict risk management approach, is our strategy for delivering strong and stable results over time. We are convinced that leading returns are built on a solid sustainability analysis.

Portfolio Strategy
Our portfolio strategy is based on our view of the global markets from the joint perspectives of a high yield asset manager and a macro analyst. We assemble our investment portfolio based on where we are in the credit-equity cycle, the economic and inflation cycle, as well as our view on which mega-sectors will dominate the markets in the coming periods. We combine fundamental and technical analysis to find entry and exit levels in the market.
Högräntepodden
(The high yield Podcast)
The podcast (in Swedish) focuses on the Nordic high yield market, but we also enjoy branching out into discussions about economic trends, macroeconomics, and much more. You can find it wherever podcasts are available.
Sustainability
We believe that leading returns go hand in hand with a strong focus on environmental and social factors. Responsible ESG efforts contribute to enhanced risk management, sustainable value creation, and improved access to capital. This work also helps create a better society for all of us.
As part of our sustainability efforts, Vinga Asset Management collaborates with SustainAX, which provides leading ESG analyses of approximately 200 small and medium-sized Nordic companies. The company is independent, and all analysts are certified. The analyses delve deeply into environmental and social sustainability factors, also considering negative consequences.
