The role of Fixed Income and problems to be aware of
Government bond allocations have traditionally played an important role in well-built portfolios, generating income, preserving capital and helping to diversify risks from more volatile allocations like equities. Over the past 30 years these bond allocations have performed well. As interest rates globally have fallen, in response to slowing economic growth and falling levels of inflation, government bond allocations have provided strong returns through coupon income and capital gains from increasing bond prices.
However, as the chart below indicates, the income component from the coupon has been getting lower and lower as governments have been able to issue bonds at lower interest rates. Investors should be aware that as a result, the coupon component may not be able to dampen future negative price movements in the same way it has done historically. In addition, while capital gain is increasingly a large component of fixed income returns, they are not guaranteed and can easily become capital losses. Therefore, having a manager who can both capture the opportunities and avoid the risks can make a big difference in your fixed income portfolio.

What can investors do?
Diversification. As the income component has fallen, investors need to broaden their investment scope beyond traditional domestic government bonds into international government bonds, corporate bonds (both investment grade and high yield) and other areas of the global fixed income markets. Bonds will still play a critical role in an investor’s portfolio now and in the future, but they need to work harder to achieve an investors’ goal of income, capital preservation and diversification.

Shown for illustrative purposes only. Because everyone’s circumstances are unique, these models can provide a framework for discussion between you and your financial adviser. They should not be taken as one-size-fits-all investment advice. Asset allocation/diversification does not guarantee investment returns and does not eliminate the risk of loss.

As the fund substantially invests the majority of its assets in debt securities issued in developed and emerging markets, including, but not limited to, debt securities of governments and their agencies, state and provincial governmental entities, supranational organisations, corporations, banks, asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, the fund is considered medium to high risk since these investments are considered a medium to high risk asset class.

A COMMON GLOBAL RESEARCH LANGUAGE
Every investment decision we make is backed by proprietary research.
Fundamental factors include macroeconomic data (such as growth and inflation) as well as corporate health figures (such as default rates, earnings and leverage metrics)
Quantitative valuations is a measure of the extent to which a sector or security is rich or cheap (on both an absolute basis as well as versus history and relative to other sectors)
Technical factors are primarily supply and demand dynamics (issuance and flows), as well as investor positioning and momentum
INTEGRATED, MULTI-LAYERED RISK MANAGEMENT
Risk management is embedded at every stage of our investment process – from establishing our quarterly investment strategy, to selecting individual securities, to constructing portfolios.
Our multi-dimensional risk framework combines proprietary and recognised third-party tools with multiple layers of oversight, acknowledging that risk in fixed income is dynamic and multi-faceted, and that no single measure can capture all aspects of risk.
