Pendal profile: Meet our head of income strategies Amy Xie Patrick

April 30, 2025

In this video, head of income strategies AMY XIE PATRICK outlines the decision-making and risk management frameworks driving Pendal’s investment process

An excerpt from Amy’s interview

Pendal’s head of income strategies Amy Xie Patrick has more than 20 years of experience in fixed-income investing.

In this profile video, Amy shares three key lessons she’s learned over her career.

The first is having an effective system to look through the noise and identify market signals.

“If you can come up with a good system, it means you stand a good chance of staying upright and finding your way when the rest of the market becomes rudderless.

“The second lesson is change always happens and you should be prepared for it. I think the hallmark of a good active investor is that you use change and volatility to your advantage, rather than become a deer in the headlights because of it.”

Lastly, Amy cites the importance of a solid decision-making framework.

You can make good decisions and still have a bad outcome. But a good decision-making framework means it’s more likely that you’ll end up with a string of good results, rather than a string of bad ones.”

Amy also outlines Pendal’s proprietary toolkit, which encompasses a range of qualitative and quantitative models.

“We have extensive models that give us hints as to what way to position that may be more favourable in the future compared to others — and that sets us apart because it gives us a slight edge in terms of how we react to market events.

“Having this very robust toolkit at our disposal means that we can navigate the entire market cycle.”
