Securitised Credit – A strategic asset class for today’s market
In a world of low yields and rate uncertainty, investors seeks income and growth without excess risk. Securitised Credit offers a unique proposition for sophisticated investors looking to complement their traditional fixed income holdings.
Compelling total return opportunity
The current “higher-for-longer” interest rate regime is particularly favorable for this predominantly floating rate asset class. With spreads wider than their historical tights, Securitised Credit offers a compelling value opportunity and yield potential, all, while maintaining a lower duration profile than traditional fixed income or corporate credit – that helps mitigate interest rate risk.
True portfolio diversification
Securitised Credit has a historically low correlation to corporate credit and other traditional assets, and is a powerful tool for enhancing portfolio diversification and improving overall risk-adjusted returns.
A resilient performance profile
Securitised Credit has historically delivered competitive risk-adjusted returns (a strong Sharpe ratio) by combining attractive absolute returns with a lower volatility profile under both the “lower for longer” period and the current market.
Meeting the needs of a diverse range of investors through a unique asset class:
|
Multi-Asset and Wealth Managers Enhanced diversification
|
Pension Funds Yield enhancement
|
Private Banks and Family Offices Diversified income and lower volatility

Key risks
The value of investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.
- Interest Rate Risk: As interest rates rise debt securities will fall in value. The value of debt is inversely proportional to interest rate movements.
- Counterparty Risk: The possibility that the counterparty to a transaction may be unwilling or unable to meet its obligations.
- Credit Risk: Issuers of debt securities may fail to meet their regular interest and/or capital repayment obligation. All credit instruments therefore have the potential for default. Higher yielding securities are more likely to default.
- Default Risk: The issuers of certain bonds could become unwilling or unable to make payments on their bonds.
- Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging markets are less established, and often more volatile, than developed markets and involve higher risks, particularly market, liquidity and currency risks.
- Exchange Rate Risk: Investing in assets denominated in a currency other than that of the investor’s own currency perspective exposes the value of the investment to exchange rate fluctuations.
- Investment Leverage Risk: Investment Leverage occurs when the economic exposure is greater than the amount invested, such as when derivatives are used. A Fund that employs leverage may experience greater gains and/or losses due to the amplification effect from a movement in the price of the reference source.
- Asset Backed Securities (ABS) Risk: ABS are typically constructed from pools of assets (e.g. mortgages) that individually have an option for early settlement or extension, and have potential for default. Cash flow terms of the ABS may change and significantly impact both the value and liquidity of the contract.
- Derivative Risk: The value of derivative contracts is dependent upon the performance of an underlying asset. A small movement in the value of the underlying can cause a large movement in the value of the derivative. Unlike exchange traded derivatives, over-the-counter (OTC) derivatives have credit risk associated with the counterparty or institution facilitating the trade.
- High Yield Risk: Higher yielding debt securities characteristically bear greater credit risk than investment grade and/or government securities.
- Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is a measure of how easily an investment can be converted to cash without a loss of capital and/or income in the process. The value of assets may be significantly impacted by liquidity risk during adverse markets conditions.
- Operational Risk: The main risks are related to systems and process failures. Investment processes are overseen by independent risk functions which are subject to independent audit and supervised by regulators.
Further information on the potential risks can be found in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID) and/ or the Prospectus or Offering Memorandum.
