Investment objective

This bond fund aims to achieve an attractive level of income and capital growth over a full economic cycle, while applying both positive and negative ESG screening.


Key features

The fund invests worldwide in a variety of government bonds, supranational bonds, investment grade and high yield corporate bonds, emerging market bonds, contingent convertible bonds, and asset-backed securities, denominated in various currencies. At the point of purchase, exchange rate risks against the fund currency are fully hedged. The fund can use derivative financial instruments for hedging purposes. The fund applies both positive and negative ESG screening to the investment universe, a system designed to reward companies for sound ESG practices.


Approach

The experienced investment team takes a high conviction approach to finding the best relative value opportunities available in global fixed income, combining top-down macroeconomic analysis with detailed bottom-up credit work. The team flexibly allocates interest rate and credit risks in line with their continuous assessment of market conditions and future developments, seeking to generate income and the potential for capital gain throughout the cycle. The managers have the ability to use interest rate and credit derivatives to either optimize or reduce exposures, though these are typically used sparingly.

An actively managed, long-only, sustainable bond fund with a global opportunity set, targeting attractive returns throughout the economic cycle with a strong focus on ESG considerations.

Based on TwentyFour’s flagship ‘go anywhere’ bond fund, Vontobel Fund – TwentyFour Strategic Income Fund (SIF), SSIF applies both positive and negative ESG screening to its investment universe, a system designed to reward companies for sound ESG practices.

Like SIF, SSIF is an unconstrained fund that seeks value from across the global bond markets. It is designed as a core fixed income allocation to be held throughout the economic cycle. The managers’ approach is dynamic and high conviction, with the portfolio able to adjust quickly to target new opportunities and mitigate risks as market conditions evolve.

Why invest?

  • Our ESG screening process helps to ensure investors’ capital is invested sustainably, while still benefiting from TwentyFour’s specialist and active approach to fixed income
  • A negative screen which rules out familiar ‘sin’ sectors in addition to a separate negative screen which excludes corporates from countries with poor ESG practices, but then importantly a positive screen excludes any bond issuers we score lower than 34 out of 100
  • An unconstrained, global and flexible fund not tied to any benchmark
  • An investment universe spanning government bonds, investment grade, high yield and emerging markets, as well as more specialist sectors such as subordinated financials and asset-backed securities
  • High conviction approach seeks relative value by geography, sector, bond issuer and type of bond, looking to capture alpha from the bottom-up as well as top-down
  • Long-only and unlevered, but with a hedging toolkit available for managing currency, interest rate and credit risk
