Fund Description & Documents

The fund’s objective is to generate a risk-adjusted excess return over the long term through active bond selection within the high yield universe.

The fund invests in euro-denominated corporate bonds issued by companies in developed and emerging markets across various credit ratings and capital structures (DM Plus). The focus is on the BB and B rating categories; issuers in the CCC range are excluded. The emphasis is on the risk-return profile of each individual investment and its contribution to the overall portfolio.

The DM Plus approach expands the investment universe through the targeted, selective inclusion of issuers from emerging markets—without increasing the risk profile.
