Funds and prices

Overview

The actively managed fund invests in short-dated fixed income securities that are largely issued by companies and denominated in the fund's reference currency

The majority of issuers have investment-grade ratings (AAA to BBB-).

The investment objective is to achieve an attractive return by exploiting the performance potential of corporate bonds, which is higher than that of government bonds.

Interest-rate risk is limited to the short-dated segment.

The portfolio manager is not tied to the benchmark in terms of investment selection or weight.

This sub-fund promotes environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective.

Benefits

Clients benefit from a portfolio that is broadly diversified across various sectors and ratings and from meticulous issuer selection. The latter is based on the in-depth credit research carried out by our expert team of professional corporate bond analysts.

Clients can benefit from the return potential of corporate bonds. They offer greater potential than government bonds as the credit risk associated with corporate bonds is generally compensated with a higher return.

The fund has a lower interest-rate risk than medium- or long-term bond investments.

Risks

Even though the credit quality of the portfolio is investment grade, the default risk is higher with corporate bonds than with government paper. Changes in interest rates have an effect on the value of the portfolio. This requires corresponding risk tolerance and capacity. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every fund has specific risks, which may increase considerably in unusual market conditions. The fund can use derivatives, which may result in additional risks (particularly counterparty risk).
