Why Invest in the Schroder ISF Global Multi-Asset Income?

Fixed payout of 7% p.a.

(Applicable to A Dis USD, HKD, GBP Hedged and RMB Hedged MF classes. Dividend may be paid out of capital*)^

With the primary objective of maximising sustainable yield, the fund intends to make a fixed payout of 7% per annum^. The payout will primarily come from a portfolio of global high income bonds and high dividend yielding equities, selected for the quality and reliability of their income.

* For share classes with a general dividend policy, expenses will be paid out of capital rather than out of gross income. The amount of distributable income therefore increases and the amount so increased may be considered to be dividend paid out of capital. Share classes with a fixed dividend policy may pay out both income and capital in distributions. Where distributions are paid out of capital, this amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of your original investment or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the net asset value of shares.

^ In respect of AUD Hedged and EUR hedged distribution units, there is neither a guarantee that such distributions will be made nor will there be a target level of distribution payout. The manager will make distributions in respect of distribution units. The manager has the sole and absolute discretion to vary the rate and/or frequency of distributions, subject to one month’s prior notice to the relevant unitholders. Distribution yield is not indicative of the return of the fund. Distributions may be paid from capital of the fund. Investors should note that where the payment of distributions are paid out of capital, this represents and amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of the amount you originally invested or capital gains attributable to that and may result in an immediate decrease in the value of units. For details of the distribution policy and frequency of all share classes, please refer to the Distribution calendar and policy.

Capturing global income opportunities

In today’s fast changing investment environment, a flexible approach is required to capture investment opportunities which could come and go quickly. Our unconstrained regional and sector allocation allows us to cast our net as widely as possible to identify these income opportunities no matter where and when they arise. The unconstrained investment philosophy is also applied to the selection of stocks and bonds, in which our strong focus on quality ensures income sustainability of the Fund.

Three key principles to capture global opportunities

Flexible risk management

Diversified asset allocations

High quality assets

Enjoy the growth of alternative assets

The fund can invest in alternative assets such as infrastructure, preferred securities, property, mortgage-backed securities (MBS), asset-backed securities (ABS) and municipal bonds. These assets ensure diversification and improve sustainability of the fund’s income, and offer potential growth for investors.

Active asset allocation to maximise yield and total returns

The current asset allocation range in global high income bonds (0 – 100%), global high dividend yielding equities (10 – 75%), alternative assets (0 – 20%) and cash (0 – 20%)¹ gives the fund manager flexibility to achieve the fund’s objective of achieving yield and maximising total returns during different phases of the economic cycle. We also implement active downside risk management aiming to protect the fund’s value during volatile markets without sacrificing the income earned from the underlying assets.

A wide range of asset classes provide flexibility in asset allocation

¹ The exact asset allocation may deviate from the range mentioned above without prior notice to investors, please refer to the relevant offering document for details.
