This is an unconstrained and unleveraged long-only bond fund, that aims to add value through both top-down macro views and bottom-up ‘high conviction’ selection. Broad asset allocation is guided by monthly investment committee meetings with subsequent adjustments made to reflect market conditions and the availability of security-specific opportunities. Portfolio duration will always be positive, with interest rate duration currently being around 2.3 years and credit spread duration being around 3.5 years. All non-sterling currency exposure is generally hedged back to sterling. Apart from a maximum allocation to high yield bonds, there is no other credit quality constraint with assets ranging from investment grade and government bonds to emerging market sovereign bonds or bank capital perpetual bonds.
