The Luxembourg-domiciled vehicle aims to offer 6% to 8% returns over cash.
The fund will be run by the company’s head of global bonds, Andres Sanchez Balcazar, who will be supported by senior investment managers Sarah Hargreaves, David Bopp, and Thomas Hansen.
It is registered for distribution in Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Greece, Italy, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Peru, Portugal, Singapore, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
“We take an approach to bond investing that is not tied to a fixed income benchmark. This way, we can look for attractive investment opportunities across the whole fixed income market to benefit from market volatility and relative value trades,” Balcazar noted.
