Convertible Bonds
“Convertible Bonds offer conservative equity participation whilst providing capital preservation which we believe is ideally suited for this market environment. Characteristics such as; inherent low duration, ability to benefit from a rising volatility environment, conservative equity exposure, contained valuations and recovery of the primary market all make for a compelling investment case today. Convertible bonds tend to outperform many asset classes in times of rising rates and increased volatility, and our fund is aimed at providing long only convertible exposure preserving the asset class’ asymmetry of returns to maximise the asset class’ long-term benefits.” Says Davide, Head of the Team and lead portfolio manager for the RWC Convertible Bond strategies.
The RWC Global Convertibles Fund, since its inception, invests purely in physical convertible bonds and does not use synthetic instruments or other investments which may dilute away the core benefits of the asset class.
Davide joined RWC in January 2010 to lead the team and he brought with him a long history in convertible bonds having worked at Morgan Stanley since 2001. At Morgan Stanley Davide worked with in both the Private Wealth and Investment Management divisions, and most recently held the Head of Convertible Bonds position. Davide graduated from Imperial College London with a degree in Material Science Engineering.
