Global High Yield Fund - A Class Inc Units (USD)
Important Notes
- The Fund invests the majority (i.e. over 50%) of its assets in a portfolio of US dollar denominated public and private issued high-yield fixed income securities (e.g. fixed interest rate corporate bonds) which are rated below investment grade. The issuers of the majority of these securities are concentrated in the US and Canada.
- Investment involves risk. There is no assurance on investment returns and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
- The investment decision is yours but you should not invest in this Fund unless the intermediary who sells it to you has advised you that it is suitable for you and explained how it is consistent with your investment objectives.
- You should not invest solely in reliance on this website alone. You should read the Summary Prospectus and the relevant Supplement(s) before investing including the Special Investment Considerations and Risks section of the Summary Prospectus.
- In relation to A Class Income Units of the Fund, the dividends which may be distributed by such class of units may be paid effectively out of the capital of the Fund (i.e. making the distribution from gross income while charging all or part of the Fund's fees and expenses to capital), resulting in an increase in distributable income for the payment of dividends by the Fund and an immediate reduction of the net asset value per unit of the Fund. Payment of dividends effectively out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor's original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Dividend is not guaranteed.
Compelling Return with Less Volatility Relative to Equity
The relatively low correlation with other asset classes generally enhance the risk/return profile of the portfolio which captures equity-like upside potential while offering income potential which could shield against market volatility.
Potentially Offer Greater Yields than Other Fixed Income Sectors
Proven Performance during Insurance Cuts
Insurance cuts by the US FED followed by growth phase brought about strong risk assets performance. During the two recent periods of insurance cuts, high yield bonds delivered competitive performance relative to government bonds.
