Funds and prices

Overview

The actively managed fund invests primarily in USD-denominated inflation-linked bonds of high quality (i.e. rated investment grade by the relevant credit rating agencies), globally diversified across regions, ratings and maturities.

The fund can hold opportunistic positions in government, agency, corporate, collateralized, high yield, emerging markets, and other than USD-denominated bonds, and use derivatives.

The portfolio manager team manages the fund taking dynamic positions in interest rates, credit and currencies with the aim to seize attractive market opportunities, based on comprehensive research, while controlling downside risk.

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

The exchange rate risk between USD and CHF is largely hedged.

Benefits

Investors can preserve the purchasing power of their investment against inflation over a 3- to 5-year horizon, because the fund's real return is linked to realized inflation as, by definition, the coupons and principals of the inflation-linked bonds in the fund are directly linked to a consumer price index.

Investors have access to a diversified portfolio whose rigorous investment approach centers on controlling downside risk through comprehensive research and risk management.

Risks

As with other portfolios, changes in interest rates and inflation have an impact on the portfolio’s value. Coupon payments move in parallel with changes in inflation, i.e. they increase when inflation rises and decrease in a deflationary environment. In terms of the par value paid out on maturity, the capital invested for inflation-linked bonds with a deflation floor does not fall below the par value. However, for inflation-linked bonds with no deflation floor, the capital invested can fall below the par value. The majority of inflation-linked bonds are issued by governments. Inflation-linked bonds that are issued by companies have a higher default risk than government bonds, and therefore require investors to have corresponding risk tolerance and capacity. All investments are subject to market fluctuations. Every fund has specific risks, which can significantly increase under unusual market conditions. The fund can use derivatives, which may result in additional risks (particularly counterparty risk).
