M&G European High Yield Bond Fund
James Tomlins
Fund manager: James Tomlins
ISA & OEIC
The Fund aims to maximise total return (the combination of income and growth of capital) while generating a high level of income.
The Fund mainly invests in higher yielding debt instruments denominated in any European currency and will normally be managed to give investors exposure to European currencies. The Fund’s exposure to higher yielding debt instruments may be gained through the use of derivatives. The Fund may also invest in other assets including collective investment schemes, government and public securities and 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.
