Funds and prices

Overview

The actively managed fund invests worldwide in convertible bonds.

Convertible bonds combine the upside potential of equities and the defensive characteristics of bonds.

The investment objective is to take full advantage of the beneficial risk-return characteristics of the global convertible bond markets.

Foreign currencies are largely hedged versus the reference currency.

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

Benefits

Investors participate in some of the price gains when equity markets are rising, and benefit from the defensive characteristics of a bond investment in falling markets.

The portfolio's return potential is considerably increased using carefully selected convertible bonds, without incurring significant additional risk.

Risks

The fund invests mainly in convertible bonds. Changes in equity prices, interest rates, credit quality and other factors can subject the fund to high fluctuations in value, which are for the most part less pronounced than with equities but significantly higher than with traditional corporate bonds. The fund may use derivatives which can reduce investment risk or give rise to additional risks (inter alia the counterparty risk). The fund can invest in less liquid assets that may be difficult to sell in the case of distressed markets. The value of a unit may fall below the purchase price. This requires an elevated risk tolerance and capacity. Every fund reveals specific risks, a description of these risks can be found in the prospectus.
