Expected to exhibit some tracking error relative to its benchmark, FTSE World Government Bond 1-5 Years Index. Target to deliver some outperformance over a complete market cycle above benchmark through its systematic process of increasing credit allocation when credit spread widens and increasing duration when yield curve steepens.
The Fund always targets fixed income segments with higher expected return, emphasising more attractive parts of the fixed income market relative to the benchmark based on the information derived from securities' current term and credit spreads. Empirical academic research has shown that term spread and credit spread are persistent drivers of bond's future expected return. Has a robust daily portfolio management process to ensure efficient trading and to keep the strategies consistently focused on the premiums they are intended to capture.
Access to the Institutional share class with no trailer fees to achieve the lowest possible fees
Investors looking for low cost exposure to the short duration and high quality fixed income market could find the Fund attractive. It maintains a duration of no more than 5 years and only invests in bonds with a credit quality of A and above. However, investors should note that credit and term premium can experience underperformance in the short to medium term, despite strong evidence suggesting their long-term outperformance.
