Pendal profile: Meet our head of credit and sustainable strategies George Bishay

April 30, 2025

In this video profile, Pendal PM George Bishay explains the advantages of our Income and Fixed Interest team’s process

An excerpt from George’s interview

WHILE fixed income forms the defensive part of a diversified portfolio, offering investors a lower degree of volatility relative to equities, it still requires skill and experience to navigate through the market cycle.

Pendal’s Income and Fixed Interest team benefits from the diverse experience of its four lead portfolio managers, says head of credit and sustainable strategies George Bishay.

If you think about the four lead portfolio managers, the average experience is 28 years per person,” he says. “The other important aspect of our team is they’re all experts in their own field across the sub-sectors within fixed income, whether that’s credit, government bonds or cash.”

In this video, Bishay — who has spent more than three decades working in credit, analysis and portfolio management roles — explains how Pendal’s investment process is a “real differentiating factor relative to our peer group”.

“A big differentiator to the way we manage money is our top-down process and our active de-risking and re-risking of our portfolios based on our process,” he says. “That unique top-down process combines our qualitative views and quantitative models with technical analysis.”
