“Asia’s high-yield market rewards precision. Missteps can be costly, and strong research often makes all the difference,” said Audrey Raj, editor of Asian Private Banker. “Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s approach to high yield reflects that discipline, pairing careful credit work with consistent execution. Its solid long-term record, including a top-decile standing within its category, highlights the strength of its approach.

“The team draws on Goldman Sachs Asset Management’s broader emerging-markets research platform, allowing them to build a portfolio centred on their highest-conviction ideas across the region. Their approach combines careful issuer analysis with a clear understanding of regional credit dynamics, helping the fund maintain a balanced profile while still tapping into the higher-return potential of Asia’s high-yield universe.

“Over time, this focus on disciplined selection and thoughtful positioning has supported consistent performance, even through periods of volatility. By managing risks and leaning into credits with stronger fundamentals, the team aims to provide investors with a dependable way to access Asia’s high-yield opportunities.

“With its steady results and research-driven approach, the Goldman Sachs Asset Management is a deserving winner of this year’s Best Fund Provider – High Yield Bond  – Asia Pacific award.”
