Flexibility in investing across a wide range of bonds and credits

Invest freely across the global bond spectrum.

The fund is managed with a benchmark unconstrained approach, we can invest across sectors and regions to capture attractive income opportunities and to help mitigating risk by diversification.

Providing monthly and fixed payout choices

(dividend may be paid out of capital)*

Bonds are popular investments for income seekers. In the current interest rate environment, which may remain high for a period of time, a portfolio composed of various types of bonds could enhance potential returns with a sensible balance of risks. The fund’s primary target is to maintain sustainable and attractive payment, and intends to make a fixed payout of 6.5% p.a. (Applicable to A Dis MF USD and HKD classes)*

*For distribution share classes/units, the distribution rate is not guaranteed. Distribution yield is not indicative of the return of the fund. Distributions maybe paid out of the capital of the fund at the Manager’s discretion. This 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 net asset value per share or decrease in the value of units of the relevant Distribution Units.

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.

Think Stability

Rigorous risk management to mitigate volatility

We recognise that income seekers can be more sensitive to capital loss. A well-diversified bond portfolio built under dynamic asset allocation allows the fund to reduce risk in market downturns. Detailed downside risk analysis as well as management on currency and interest rate risk are incorporated with an aim to help mitigating potential loss and volatility.

Think Innovation

Innovative themes-based approach

In our credit selection process, we apply forward-looking themes like technological disruption, changing demographics and consumer trends. This approach helps identifying companies that are adapting well to change.
