The fund aims to provide an attractive level of income relative to prevailing interest rates whilst maintaining a strong focus on capital preservation. The fund aims to provide an attractive level of income relative to prevailing interest rates whilst maintaining a strong focus on capital preservation. The Monument Bond Fund does not offer a capital guarantee or principal protection mechanism. Efforts to preserve the fund's capital will be focused on the selection of underlying mortgage European and Australian asset backed securities where the investment manager has a high degree of confidence as to the issuer's ability to repay the principal due.

A specialist fund that invests across the full range of investment grade European asset-backed securities (ABS), aiming to deliver an attractive level of income relative to prevailing interest rates with a strong focus on capital preservation.

Our Monument Bond Fund uses the natural advantages of the ABS asset class and a vastly experienced team to target stable, attractive returns.

Why invest?

  • ABS normally offers a higher yield for a given rating or maturity than more mainstream investments such as government or corporate bonds
  • ABS are virtually all floating rate, making them less sensitive to interest rate changes than fixed rate bonds
  • Features such as credit enhancement, loss-absorbing reserve funds, and the legal separation of issuer and asset pool are built-in protections for ABS investors
  • Transactions are highly transparent with detailed reports showing the performance of each loan in the asset pool, enabling investors to conduct their own research
  • ABS remains a poorly understood asset class, meaning those that put in the effort and expertise can be rewarded with a complexity premium

RISKS

Subject to change, without notice, only the current prospectus or comparable document of the fund is legally binding.

  • Limited participation in the potential of single securities

  • Success of single security analysis and active management cannot be guaranteed

  • It cannot be guaranteed that the investor will recover the capital invested

  • Derivatives entail risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit fluctuations, illiquidity and volatility

  • The structure of ABS/MBS and the pools backing them might be intransparent which exposes the subfund to additional credit and prepayment risks (extension or contraction risks) depending on which tranche of ABS/MBS is purchased by the subfund

  • The fund has the ability to use derivatives, including but not limited to FX forwards, for hedging and EPM purposes only. This may magnify gains or losses

  • Typically, sub-investment grade securities will have a higher risk of default, and are generally considered to be more illiquid than investment grade securities

  • Information on how environmental and social objectives are achieved and how sustainability risks are managed in this Fund may be obtained from here.

  • The Sub-Fund’s investments may be subject to sustainability risks. The sustainability risks that the Sub-Fund may be subject to are likely to have an immaterial impact on the value of the Sub-Funds’ investments in the medium to long term due to the mitigating nature of the Sub-Fund’s ESG approach.
  • The Sub-Funds' performance may be positively or negatively affected by its sustainability strategy.
