About this fund
Fund objectives
- The Fund seeks to provide a moderate and sustainable level of current income by investing in a diversified portfolio of global credit bonds.
- The Fund employs an “active management” strategy, and while the Fund will invest substantially in components of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Credit Index, its 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.
