This actively managed fund is designed for investors seeking to generate a high level of income and potential for long-term capital appreciation by investing primarily in a portfolio of high-yield corporate debt securities denominated in US dollars. The strategy leverages an experienced team of credit analysts and portfolio managers who employ a research-intensive, bottom-up security selection process. By not being tied to a benchmark, the managers have the flexibility to dynamically allocate assets and navigate changing market conditions, aiming to identify undervalued opportunities across various sectors and credit qualities within the high-yield universe while actively managing risk.
The portfolio construction is rooted in deep fundamental credit analysis, focusing on identifying companies with sound business models, sustainable cash flows, and manageable debt levels. This rigorous approach is combined with a top-down macroeconomic perspective to guide decisions on overall portfolio duration and sector exposure. A critical element of the strategy is its emphasis on risk management, specifically aiming to avoid 'credit losers'—issuers with deteriorating fundamentals that are more likely to default. This disciplined process seeks to deliver superior risk-adjusted returns compared to passive index-tracking alternatives by capitalizing on market inefficiencies and mitigating downside risk.
This financial instrument is suitable for investors with a higher risk tolerance who are looking for enhanced yield potential compared to investment-grade or government bonds. The fund’s objective is to provide an attractive income stream, making it a potential core holding or a satellite allocation for those looking to diversify their fixed-income exposure. As an accumulating share class, all income generated by the underlying bonds is automatically reinvested back into the fund, which is ideal for investors focused on long-term wealth creation through the power of compounding.
