Funds and prices

Overview

The actively managed fund predominantly invests in CHF-denominated bonds from foreign issuers with high creditworthiness (classified as investment grade by the established rating agencies).

The fund may also invest opportunistically in non-denominated CHF bonds, emerging market and high yield bonds. The portfolio has an average credit quality of investment grade.

The fund takes active positions in interest rates, credit and currencies using bonds and derivatives.

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

Benefits

Clients have access to a diversified CHF bond portfolio offering attractive return potential.

The fund strives to achieve a better return over the medium term compared to the CHF foreign bond market.

The fund manager combines a mix of carefully selected issuers and bonds across a range of maturities with the aim of exploiting return opportunities.

The portfolio is subject to strict risk management processes.

Risks

The fund may engage in relatively high-risk strategies in bond and currency markets, whereby both long and short positions may be held and derivatives may be used. The use of derivatives may result in additional risks (notably counterparty risk). Depending on the credit rating (credit quality), corporate bonds may exhibit a higher default risk than government bonds. The default risk of high yield and emerging market bonds is higher than that of corporate and government bonds of investment grade quality. Changes in interest rate levels, credit spreads and currencies may affect the value of the fund. Emerging markets are in an early stage of development, which is typically associated, for example, with pronounced price fluctuations and other specific risks such as lower market transparency, regulatory hurdles and corporate governance provisions, as well as political and social challenges. Emerging markets may have limited liquidity. Greater portfolio flexibility may increase the risk that portfolio management decisions negatively affect performance. Investments are subject to market fluctuations. The fund can invest in less liquid assets that may be difficult to sell in the case of distressed markets. Each fund exhibits specific risks, which may increase significantly under unusual market conditions. The aforementioned aspects require investors to have the corresponding risk appetite and risk capacity. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. Please consult your client advisor for more information on the investment risks of this product.
