Our approach

In our view, active management of convertibles is best achieved by a dedicated, specialist team with the experience to exploit the inefficiencies inherent in the market. The team combines a top-down and fundamentally driven, bottom-up approach with the flexibility to invest globally to help capture these inefficiencies and pricing anomalies.

Potential benefits

As a liquid alternative, our convertibles-based strategies can have numerous advantages when included in a balanced portfolio.

Specialist team

Specialist global convertibles portfolio managers with over 60 years of combined experience.

Active global approach

Global investment approach with high active share, seeking to capture inefficiencies and pricing anomalies to generate higher risk-adjusted returns.

True alternatives

Long-only and absolute-return convertible-bond strategies offering investors the potential for uncorrelated returns, portfolio diversification and low volatility.

Key risks

For further information on the risks and risk profiles of our funds, please refer to the relevant fund documents.

The value of an investment and any income from it can go down as well as up and can fluctuate in response to changes in currency and exchange rates. Investors may not get back the original amount invested.

Convertible securities risk

Convertible bonds can earn less income than comparable debt securities and less growth than comparable equity securities, and carry a high level of risk.

Credit risk

Bond values are affected by changes in interest rates and the bond issuer's creditworthiness. Bonds that offer the potential for a higher income typically have a greater risk of default.

Derivatives risk

The funds use derivatives; these can be complex and highly volatile. Derivatives may not perform as expected, which means the funds may suffer significant losses.

Illiquid securities risk

Certain assets held in the funds could, by nature, be hard to value or to sell at a desired time or at a price considered to be fair (especially in large quantities), and as a result their prices could be very volatile.
