Why now?
After central banks around the globe hiked interest rates aggressively in recent years to combat soaring inflation, yields on corporate bonds have been at attractive levels. With inflation moderating and the economic outlook more uncertain, central banks are now beginning to consider the need for rate cuts. We believe this could be a good time to consider fixed maturity strategies, as these allow investors to ‘lock in’ current yield levels.

Key funds risks
- Market risk: The value of investments and the income they generate will rise and fall. This will cause the Funds prices, as well as any income paid by the Funds, to fall as well as rise. There is no guarantee the Funds will achieve their objectives, and you may not get back the amount you originally invested.
- Credit Risk: The value of the Funds may fall if the issuer of a Fixed Income security held is unable to pay income payments or repay its debt (known as a default).
- Interest Rate Risk: When interest rates rise, the value of the Funds is likely to fall.
- High yield bonds usually carry greater risk that the bond issuers may not be able to pay interest or return the capital.
- Please note, investing in these funds means acquiring units or shares in a fund, and not in a given underlying asset such as building or shares of a company, as these are only the underlying assets owned by the funds.
Further details of the risks that apply to the fund can be found in the fund's Prospectus available here.
