Overview

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

Le Fonds vise à fournir un rendement, résultant d'une combinaison de revenu et de croissance du capital, tout en cherchant à limiter les pertes en termes de capital (bien que ce ne soit pas garanti). Objectif de performance: Surperformer par rapport à l'indice «équilibré» (60 % S&P 500 + 40 % Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond) de 1,5 % par an, avant déduction des charges, sur une période quelconque de cinq ans.

More

Le Fonds investit 35 % à 70 % de ses actifs dans des actions (titres de capital) et 30 % à 65 % dans des titres à revenu fixe (titres de créance) et des prêts. Au moins 80 % de ses actifs sont investis dans des sociétés et des émetteurs américains. Le montant total du Fonds pouvant être investi dans des titres négociés sur des marchés en développement s'élève à 10 %. Sur les 35 à 65 % des actifs du Fonds investis dans des titres à revenu fixe (titres de créance) et des prêts, jusqu'à 30 % de ces actifs peuvent être assortis d'une notation inférieure à «investment grade». Le Fonds peut également investir dans d'autres actifs, y compris des sociétés et des obligations hors zone euro, des liquidités et des instruments du marché monétaire. Le Conseiller en investissement par délégation peut avoir recours à des dérivés (instruments financiers complexes) pour réduire le risque, pour gérer le Fonds plus efficacement ou pour générer du capital et des revenus supplémentaires pour le Fonds. Le Fonds est géré de façon active en se référant à l'indice «équilibré» (60 % S&P 500 + 40 % Bloomberg US Aggregate Bond), qui est largement représentatif des sociétés et obligations dans lesquelles le Fonds est susceptible d'investir, dans la mesure où ledit indice constitue la base de l'objectif de performance du Fonds. Le Conseiller en investissement par délégation dispose d'une grande liberté d'action pour choisir des investissements individuels pour le Fonds.

  • The value of the Funds and the income from them is not guaranteed and may fall as well as rise. You may get back less than you originally invested.
  • Past performance does not predict future returns.
  • Third party data is believed to be reliable, but its completeness and accuracy is not guaranteed.
  • Shares/Units can lose value rapidly, and typically involve higher risks than bonds or money market instruments. The value of your investment may fall as a result.
  • An issuer of a bond (or money market instrument) may become unable or unwilling to pay interest or repay capital to the Fund. If this happens or the market perceives this may happen, the value of the bond will fall.
  • When interest rates rise (or fall), the prices of different securities will be affected differently. In particular, bond values generally fall when interest rates rise (or are expected to rise). This risk is typically greater the longer the maturity of a bond investment.
  • The Fund invests in high yield (non-investment grade) bonds and while these generally offer higher rates of interest than investment grade bonds, they are more speculative and more sensitive to adverse changes in market conditions.
  • If a Fund has a high exposure to a particular country or geographical region it carries a higher level of risk than a Fund which is more broadly diversified.
  • The Fund may use derivatives to help achieve its investment objective. This can result in leverage (higher levels of debt), which can magnify an investment outcome. Gains or losses to the Fund may therefore be greater than the cost of the derivative. Derivatives also introduce other risks, in particular, that a derivative counterparty may not meet its contractual obligations.
  • When the Fund, or a share/unit class, seeks to mitigate exchange rate movements of a currency relative to the base currency (hedge), the hedging strategy itself may positively or negatively impact the value of the Fund due to differences in short-term interest rates between the currencies.
  • Securities within the Fund could become hard to value or to sell at a desired time and price, especially in extreme market conditions when asset prices may be falling, increasing the risk of investment losses.
  • Some or all of the ongoing charges may be taken from capital, which may erode capital or reduce potential for capital growth.
  • In addition to income, this share class may distribute realised and unrealised capital gains and original capital invested. Fees, charges and expenses are also deducted from capital. Both factors may result in capital erosion and reduced potential for capital growth. Investors should also note that distributions of this nature may be treated (and taxable) as income depending on local tax legislation.
  • The Fund could lose money if a counterparty with which the Fund trades becomes unwilling or unable to meet its obligations, or as a result of failure or delay in operational processes or the failure of a third party provider.
  • Funds incur costs as a necessary part of buying and selling the underlying investments, these are otherwise known as portfolio transaction costs, and include charges such as broker commission and Stamp Duty.
  • Before investing in any of our funds you should satisfy yourself as to the suitability and the risks involved.
  • Summary of Investor rights
  • Janus Henderson Investors Europe S.A. may decide to terminate the marketing arrangements of this Collective Investment Scheme in accordance with the appropriate regulation.
