Overview
The UCITS fund invests in global convertible securities with the aim of balancing risk/reward while providing growth and income.The fund is actively managed and is suitable for long-term investors.The fund uses the FTSE Global Convertible Index and MSCI World Index as comparative benchmarks but not to constrain the fund's portfolio or as a target for performance.
Key Features
- Provides broadly diversified exposure to the global convertible bond universe.
- Leverages more than 45 years of research in convertible security investing.
- Seeks to provide upside participation in equity markets with less exposure to downside than an equity-only portfolio over a full market cycle.
- Blends global investment themes and fundamental research via active management.
Portfolio Fit
Consisting of convertible securities that can participate in upside equity movements with potentially limited downside exposure, the fund can provide a means to manage risk in conjunction with an equity allocation. The fund can also serve a role within a fixed-income allocation, as convertibles have performed well during periods of rising interest rates and inflation.
