Economic growth of Asia outpaces that of Europe and the US

Despite the general economic slowdown, Asia may still enjoy higher rates of growth compared to other parts of the world.
With decent economic growth rates and an environment of generally ample liquidity (due to quantitative easing in Japan and Europe, and accommodative monetary policies in Asia), the outlook for the region looks relatively promising.

Asian bonds offer attractive yield enhancement

With interest rates at record low levels in the developed countries, Asian fixed income stands out with its attractive yields.
Asian USD credits currently yield over 4%, and rise to over 8% for some high yield credits.
Asian fixed income demonstrates a relatively low correlation to global fixed income markets.

Attractive return/risk profile for Asian bonds

Even though fixed income is generally deemed to be less risky than equities, there are still inherent risks nonetheless.The return/risk trade-off is the concept that higher risk is associated with greater probability of higher return and lower risk with a greater probability of lower return. Therefore, an investor will only accept the largest expected return for a given level of risk.
Asian USD-denominated corporate bonds currently offer the highest return/risk profile among emerging markets on a five-year basis, and the case is the same for Asia local currency government bonds^#.

Monthly dividends

The Fund aims to provide long term capital appreciation and income.

Dynamic Allocation Strategy to Invest Across Asian Bond Markets

The returns of different types of bonds vary in different stages of the economic cycle; no single bond type can persistently outperform all the time and in different market environments.
The Fund can flexibly make allocations to different types and regions of bonds according to the market environment, with the aim of maximising total potential return of the portfolio.
Our flexible approach means we can also avoid countries or sectors where we do not find investment value.
