2026 | 2020

  • The fund seeks to maximise total return by investing at least 70% of its assets in fixed income securities denominated in various currencies, issued by governments, agencies and companies worldwide, including non-investment grade securities.
  • The team combines top-down macro views with bottom-up sector and security research, allocating dynamically across rates, credit, securitised assets, emerging markets and currencies based on expected return, carry, valuation and downside risk.
  • The fund is benchmark agnostic, using the Bloomberg Global Aggregate Bond Index (USD Hedged) as a performance comparator only. Duration is actively managed within -2 to +7 years, with below investment grade exposure capped at 70%.
  • As of 31 March 2026, the fund held 4,066 securities with an effective duration of 3.23 years and a yield to maturity of 5.54%.
  • The team maintains a defensive, carry-focused positioning, favouring securitised assets and shorter-to-intermediate duration, while staying selective in high yield and emerging markets amid ongoing geopolitical and inflation uncertainty.
