Launch of Defensive Bond Opp. 2030
Friday 22 December 2023
The 11th fixed-maturity fund at Anaxis AM
Anaxis AM is launching Defensive Bond Opp. 2030, a new bond fund maturing on 31 December 2030. We are strengthening our fixed-maturity bond offer with this new UCITS fund, our 11th of its kind, after more than 10 years as a pioneer in the segment. This new fund invests in corporate bonds with an average rating of Investment Grade and a maturity date close to 2030.
Historically attractive yields
Investment grade yields have become attractive again in recent months as interest rates have risen sharply. However, with inflation moderating, central banks are preparing for a gradual reduction in interest rates in 2024. Defensive Bond Opp. 2030 therefore offers investors the opportunity to secure these historically attractive yields over the long term.
Fixed-maturity funds, excellent for visibility
The strategy of fixed-maturity funds brings together investors with the same horizon, allowing them to invest in bonds with similar maturities. This provides very good visibility and a pull to par effect, which reduces volatility as the bond approaches maturity.
The fund selects only corporate bonds, largely in non-cyclical sectors, and does not invest in the financial sector or in hybrid instruments.
Advantages of the fund for investors
An attractive investment solution: Defensive Bond Opp. 2030 invests in bonds that we consider to represent the best opportunities on the Investment Grade market segment, a credit quality that is offering historically attractive yields in the current environment (4.40% in EUR in the target portfolio for mid-December).
A robust solution: Defensive Bond Opp. 2030 does not invest in the financial or energy sectors and favours non-cyclical sectors. Investments are made based on a meticulous fundamental analysis of issuers.
A trustworthy asset manager: At Anaxis AM, we have been offering robust investment solutions to our clients for more than 10 years. Risk management is central to our approach and we focus on transparency and close relationships with our investors.
A team of experts: Anaxis AM has a team of five specialists in corporate bonds.
