Investment objective

This bond fund aims to generate steady income and achieve the best possible investment returns over a full credit cycle, while respecting risk diversification.


Key features

The fund invests worldwide mainly in corporate bonds from the high-yield segment (ratings BB+ to CCC-) from various issuers and with different maturities. The fund uses derivative financial instruments, mainly for hedging purposes.


Approach

The investment team seeks to exploit high-yield bond market inefficiencies by combining top-down regional, sector, and credit-quality allocations with bottom-up security selection based on thorough fundamental credit analysis. For higher return opportunities, the team maintains a focus list of issuers that require a more rigorous evaluation.
