Overview

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The fund’s core US high yield strategy seeks strong, risk-adjusted results by investing in transformational balance sheet opportunities. Driven by a fundamentally based investment process, this dynamic risk-aware, approach seeks to temper the downside risks associated with the US high yield asset class over a full market cycle.

Note: You should not make investment decisions based solely on marketing materials. You should read the Prospectus and the Product Highlights Sheet of the Fund for more details of the investment risks and seek independent professional advice where appropriate.

ABOUT THIS FUND

  • High Conviction: We believe a high-conviction approach is essential to unlocking competitive excess returns and monitoring high-yield risk for our clients.
