WHY QUALITY FOR FIXED INCOME

Downside mitigation

Bonds, conventionally, are considered the "safer" part of one's portfolio. Historically, higher quality bonds have offered better downside mitigation in most cases, especially during periods of severe market stress associated with equity drawdowns.

Quality income for resilience

Build portfolio resilience by increasing total return potential driven by income. With expectations of steady interest rates, high-quality bonds are expected to play an important role, as a source of investment returns.

Fund Launch of the Year (Singapore)4

Source: Wellington Management. Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

1. Weighted average credit quality as of 30/09/2025. Credit quality ratings are based on the highest of Moody’s, S&P, and Fitch. Ratings do not apply to the Fund itself. Ratings may change.

2. Based on USD A M6 Distributing Unhedged share class. Distribution payouts and its frequency are determined by the manager, and can be made out of income, capital or both. The dividend distribution by the specific share class level is at the discretion of the Manager and will be declared as per the distribution frequency outlined in the shareclass currency. 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. Annualised Dividend Yield = [(1 + Dividend Per Share / Ex-Dividend Date NAV)12 - 1] X 100. The annualised dividend yield is calculated based on the latest dividend distribution with dividend reinvested, and may be higher or lower than the actual annual dividend yield. For further information, please refer to the dividend composition document located on our website: www.wellington.com.sg.
