Feb. 8 (Bloomberg) -- Pacific Investment Management Co., manager of the world’s largest bond fund, is underweight all European sovereign debt, according to Myles Bradshaw, a London- based executive vice president and money manager.

Portugal has similar characteristics to Greece, which is an “insolvent credit,” Bradshaw said at the AFME European Market Liquidity Conference in London today. Spain and Italy can adapt, though face contagion risks from the debt crisis, he said.
