Reaping the benefits of asymmetric returns for 10 years

The M&G Global Convertibles Fund was launched on 13 July 2007. During the subsequent 10-year period, Fund Manager Léonard Vinville and his team have successfully navigated through what at times have been very turbulent waters, and delivered first-quartile returns since inception1. In Léonard’s opinion, convertibles remain a valuable investment proposition, particularly in the current uncertain environment, and he is confident that his consistent investment process has the ability to sustain the fund's robust performance.

M&G Property Portfolio

A steady source of income

UK commercial property has historically generated a steady source of income and an attractive level of return for investors. Throughout the fund’s four-month suspension last year and since trading resumed in November, manager Fiona Rowley and her team have been working hard to strengthen the fund’s resilience in the face of political and economic uncertainty. They have focused on the portfolio’s ability to generate attractive levels of income going forward, while reducing the downside risk by tilting the fund back towards prime properties.

Emerging Market Corporate Bonds – Falling default rates and high yields. Too good to be true?

With only one issuer defaulting in the first quarter of 2017 (compared to eight in the same period 12 months ago), the emerging market (EM) hard currency corporate bond asset class has until now met expectations that its default rate could be significantly lower in 2017. Improvements in both macro and corporate fundamentals have helped this outcome, providing relief for many EM bond managers who recently had to navigate through a particularly punishing time.

The opportunity for value in emerging markets

Value as an investment style has underperformed in emerging markets for several years. As a result, we believe there are currently opportunities for value-focused investors, particularly in economically sensitive areas. With valuations looking attractive relative to developed markets and improving company fundamentals, we are optimistic about the outlook for emerging markets.

A positive outlook for value investing in the US stockmarket

US stockmarkets are currently trading close to all-time highs. However, we believe there are still opportunities in the market for value-focused investors. Value as a style returned to favour in 2016, but this followed a sustained period of underperformance. The valuation gap between the cheapest part of the market and the most expensive remains extremely wide and should narrow, in our opinion. By adopting a selective, diversified approach focused on finding cheap stocks with robust fundamentals, we believe the fund is well positioned to take advantage of the value opportunities currently present in the US market.
