Our Asian investment Grade Bond fund aims to achieve income gains and capital appreciation through investment in a diversified portfolio of primarily investment grade bonds in Asia Pacific ex Japan region.

Our Investment Approach

Our top-down perspective utilises global macro-economic scenarios and emerging market expectations formulated by our highly experienced investment team.

For bottom-up selections, our credit research team undertakes detailed fundamental analysis to judge the credit-worthiness of the issuers and market valuations relative to their peers. Our securities selection is driven by bottom-up analysis within the context of the “big picture”.

The credit outlook for both sovereigns and corporates in the region is supportive for the asset class, and given the diversity in the Asian region, active management can be expected to add value over the medium-long term.
