OUR UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE ON INCOME INVESTING IN 2024:​

DIFFERENTIATE QUALITY WITHIN HIGHER YIELDING OPPORTUNITIES

icon-surfer
Navigate volatile markets

Global markets have remained volatile amid uncertain monetary policy outlook, stubbornly high inflation, and ongoing geopolitical tensions. ​

 

To help navigate risks, many investors have turned their attention to investments that can potentially generate consistent income and total returns.

Differentiate quality yield

Income investing may seem like a straightforward enough concept. ​

 

However, some may not realise that investing for income is not simply about “chasing yield” — in part because the highest-yielding assets may not always be the most attractive due to potential liquidity risks.

Stay active and flexible

Robust, yet flexible and multi-faceted solutions could allow investors to capture overlooked pockets of income and return opportunities, even under volatile market conditions.

* Distribution payouts and its frequency are determined by the manager, and can be made out of income, capital or both. Investors should note that the payment of dividends directly out of capital may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share of the Fund. Distributions are not guaranteed and may fluctuate. Past distributions are not necessarily indicative of future trends, which may be lower. Yield is an annualised share-class yield based on the previous month’s dividends paid by the Fund. The Fund intends to pay dividends from income and profits, but if these are insufficient, they may be paid from share capital. Dividends are calculated gross (before deduction of fees, expenses and taxes), and while this increases the dividend, it may erode capital. Hedged share class dividends may be impacted positively or negatively by the difference in interest rates between the share class currency and the Fund’s base currency. Distributions are not guaranteed and may fluctuate. Past distributions are not necessarily indicative of future trends, which may be lower. Investors should note that the payment of dividends directly out of capital may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset  value per share of the Fund. Distributions of the Fund for the distributing share classes will be declared on a monthly basis in their denominated currencies. Distribution payouts and its frequency are determined by the manager, and can be made out of income, capital or both.
