About this fund
Fund objectives
- The Fund aims to provide a higher total return (capital growth plus income) than the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Index (the "Index") after the fees and expenses of the Fund. The Fund employs an "active management" strategy in aiming to outperform the Index and in doing so, the Investment Manager will follow distinct approaches in managing the Fund's assets.
- The Investment Manager may in its discretion restrict the extent to which the Fund’s holdings deviate from the Index constituents on a security selection and fixed income sector basis.
- The Fund may take active fixed income sector views with the focus on bond specific selection. The extent to which the Fund can outperform the Index may be restricted by constraints applied by the Investment Manager which limit the potential volatility of the difference between the return of the Fund and the return of the Index. Such constraints may change or be removed from time to time at the Investment Manager’s discretion and depending on market environments.
- The Fund will invest in global fixed income bonds, including fixed and floating rate issues, primarily made up of treasury, government-related, securitised, and corporate debt from developed and emerging market issuers. The Fund will primarily invest in investment grade bonds with a rating of the equivalent of Baa3 and above by Moody‘s or another independent rating agency or, which are determined to be of comparable quality by the Investment Manager.
