Fund description

The Aegon High Yield Global Bond Fund takes a high-conviction, bottom-up approach to unlocking value across global high yield markets. Our index-agnostic fund aims to generate long-term outperformance by exploiting global high yield market inefficiencies which range across issuers, sectors and geographies. The fund blends a top-down, strategic perspective on the asset class with high-conviction credit research, leveraging our deeply-resourced credit research team, and distressed debt specialists.

Key performance drivers

  • High conviction stock selection marries top down positioning - Our approach is bottom-up focused, with an emphasis on deep, fundamental credit analysis that supports the construction of a high-conviction portfolio. It can be described as being 80% bottom-up driven (stock selection) with the remaining 20% being driven by top-down positioning (beta positioning, sector selection, rating allocation).

Distinguishing characteristics

  • Unconstrained by indices: The portfolio managers do not confine themselves to a benchmark, allowing them to invest unrestricted in opportunities across a range of issuers, sectors and geographies. This index agnostic approach allows us to invest where we see value in the market and not held hostage to bias’s and skews found in large global indices
  • Access to deep, global research resources: Access to a deeply resourced credit research team and dedicated team of distressed debt specialists expands our idea generation and gives us greater confidence and conviction in our best portfolio ideas.
  • Highly experienced Portfolio Management team: Collaboration between the portfolio managers in our Leveraged Finance & Emerging Market Debt team brings wider perspectives and greater insights into local markets. This enhances our top down positioning through a more robust and rigorous debate about global relative value – a global team that benefits from local expertise.
