Catch up on all things fixed income in under three minutes with Bitesized Bonds
As ever, the important thing for us as fixed income managers is that we have the right mandate - flexible, broad and downside-aware - to navigate current and future market conditions.
Investment risks
The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested.
The securities that the Fund invests in may not always make interest and other payments nor is the solvency of the issuers guaranteed. Market conditions, such as a decrease in market liquidity for the securities in which the Fund invests, may mean that the Fund may not be able to sell those securities at their true value. These risks increase where the Fund invests in high yield or lower credit quality bonds.
As the fund can rapidly change its holdings across the fixed income and debt spectrum and cash, this can increase its risk profile.
The fund has the ability to make significant use of financial derivatives (complex instruments) which may result in the fund being leveraged and can result in large fluctuations in the value of the fund. Leverage on certain types of transactions including derivatives may impair the fund's liquidity, cause it to liquidate positions at unfavourable times or otherwise cause the fund not to achieve its intended objective. Leverage occurs when the economic exposure created by the use of derivatives is greater than the amount invested resulting in the fund being exposed to a greater loss than the initial investment.
The fund may be exposed to counterparty risk should an entity with which the fund does business become insolvent resulting in financial loss.
The fund may invest in contingent convertible bonds which may result in significant risk of capital loss based on certain trigger events.
The fund's performance may be adversely affected by variations in interest rates.
The fund has the ability to invest more than 35% of its value in securities issued by a single government or public international body.
