Risk Considerations

  1. The Fund is actively managed and invests mainly in a diversified portfolio of high yield corporate debt securities from issuers around the world, including emerging markets. The Fund may invest up to 40% of its net asset value in emerging markets.
  2. Investment in the Fund involves risks, including general investment risk, emerging markets risk,  geographic concentration risk, exclusion criteria risk and currency risk which may result in loss of a part or the entire amount of your investment. 
  3. The investment in debt securities is also subject to credit/counterparty risk, interest rate risk, downgrading risk, credit rating risk, risk associated with high yield debt securities which are generally rated below investment grade or unrated, risk associated with investments in debt instruments with loss-absorption features and valuation risk.
  4. The Fund may use derivatives for hedging, efficient portfolio management and investment purposes or to create synthetic short positions in debt securities and credit indices, and is subject to derivatives risk. The Fund may also implement active currency position and is subject to relevant risks. Exposure to derivatives may also lead to a risk of significant loss to the Fund.
  5. For Class Ax, dividends are paid on a discretionary basis. Dividends may be paid directly out of capital and/or effectively out of the capital of the share class by distributing all gross income prior to the deduction of any fees and expenses attributable to the share class. Payment of dividends directly out of capital and/or effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any such distribution may result in an immediate reduction of net asset value per share. This could also erode capital and constrain future growth.
  6. The value of the Fund can be volatile and could go down substantially.
  7. Investors should not invest in the Fund solely based on this website.

Investment involves risk. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current or future results and should not be the sole factor of consideration when selecting a product or strategy.

31-Aug-2016 - Mark Vaselkiv, Chief Investment Officer, Fixed Income,
Although some key risk events have now passed, we still have concerns about China. It is also likely that upcoming political events including a referendum in Italy on constitutional reform in October and the U.S. presidential election in November will gain more focus. These developments could potentially hurt sentiment toward risk assets, which in turn could lead to issuers being more cautious on bringing new deals to the market.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

31-Oct-2023 - Mike Della Vedova, Co-Portfolio Manager,
High yield bonds across the globe produced negative results in October, although the European market outperformed those in other regions. Rising geopolitical tensions, interest rate expectations, as well as some corporate earnings reports and financial projections that were less favourable than anticipated, weighed on sentiment in the US and Europe. The broad risk-adverse tone and signs of further weakness in China’s property sector impeded the performance of emerging markets high yield corporate bonds. Within the portfolio, credit selection and our underweight allocation in the information technology segment were beneficial. Selection and our overweight position in the automotive industry added further value. Conversely, security selection in the financials and health care segment detracted from relative results.
31-Oct-2023 - Mike Della Vedova, Co-Portfolio Manager,
We have maintained our overweight allocation to the cable operators segment as these issuers typically provide stability during times of market volatility. We are overweight broadcasting as it appears attractive on valuation grounds, although we are selective on picking credits. We continue to hold an overweight exposure to automotives but have moved away from credits susceptible to the strikes by United Auto Workers into more global parts manufacturers.
31-Oct-2023 - Mike Della Vedova, Co-Portfolio Manager,
We have increased our allocation to Europe as it is a better rated market with a yield pickup compared with the US. We have also maintained an underweight exposure to the US as it appears expensive on a currency hedged basis. We remain slightly underweight to emerging markets and continue to have no exposure to China.
31-Oct-2023 - Mike Della Vedova, Co-Portfolio Manager,
We do not expect to add value via currency management; we typically hedge our non-US dollar exposure back to US dollars in order to limit volatility, keeping the focus on credit selection.
