M&G European Corporate Bond Fund
Stefan Isaacs
Fund manager: Stefan Isaacs
Products available: ISA & OEIC
The Fund aims to maximise total return (the combination of income and growth of capital) while generating a higher level of income than that from European government bonds of similar maturities.
The Fund invests mainly in investment grade corporate bonds denominated in any European currency. The Fund may also invest in high yield corporate bonds, government and public securities denominated in any European currency. The Fund’s exposure to bonds, government and other public securities may be gained through the use of derivatives. The Fund may also invest in other assets, including collective investment schemes, other transferable securities, cash and near cash, deposits, warrants, money market instruments and other derivative instruments which may be denominated in any major global currency. Any non- European currency exposures within the fund may be managed by currency hedges in European currencies.
