FACTSHEET
KID
31-Jan-2020 - David Stanley Portfolio Manager, Fixed Income,
We believe the technical backdrop in the European corporate bond market will likely remain favourable. This should help the asset class remain relatively stable despite potential wider market volatility due to the coronavirus outbreak. We also continue to see signs of moderate improvement in the European economic outlook. However, the size of the current European Central Bank stimulus would not prevent spread widening, in our view, should the coronavirus cause a significant long-term economic impact.

Overview
Strategy
Fund Summary
We use proprietary, fundamental credit research to focus on identifying corporate bonds that offer attractive yields in relation to their credit fundamentals. We integrate financial, technical, legal and qualitative research with relative value analysis. Risk management is integral, with limits on both duration and yield curve exposures. The promotion of environmental and/or social characteristics is achieved through the fund's commitment to maintain at least 10% of the value of its portfolio invested in Sustainable Investments, as defined by the SFDR. Additionally, we apply a proprietary responsible screen (exclusion list). The manager is not constrained by the fund’s benchmark, which is used for performance comparison purposes only.
Performance - Net of Fees

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
31-Oct-2025 - David Stanley Portfolio Manager,
European corporate bonds saw positive returns in October, supported by broadly falling yields, as renewed US-China trade tensions drove demand for higher-quality government debt. Euro investment-grade spreads were resilient as demand remained solid and corporate earnings were largely positive. This outweighed credit concerns with the news of two US corporate bankruptcies and bad loans in the US regional bank sector. Security selection was positive, with several high conviction, idiosyncratic credit stories working well. These included satellite operator, which has been a consistent contributor since regulatory authorities approved a proposed acquisition earlier this year, and our short position in a chemicals company, which we hold through credit default swaps. Security selection was also positive in the banking sector, across a range of names. Our defensive index hedging strategies and our material underweight to the consumer non-cyclical sector dragged on performance.

Hedged share classes (denoted by 'h') utilise investment techniques to mitigate currency risk between the underlying investment currency(ies) of the fund and the currency of the hedged share class.  The costs of doing so will be borne by the share class and there is no guarantee that such hedging will be effective.

Benchmark: Investors may use the benchmark to compare the fund’s performance. The benchmark has been selected because it is similar to the investment universe used by the investment manager and therefore acts as an appropriate comparator.
