The M&G (Lux) Global Corporate Bond strategy will be present at the VIII Funds Society Investment Summit in Palm Beach.
The fund “is a bottom-up, fundamentals-based approach that results in lower volatility and higher long-term returns,” M&G says in its description.
The presentation, which will take place Oct. 5-7 at the PGA National Resort in Palm Beach, will be given by Pilar Arroyo, Investment Specialist on the Fixed Income team.
The strategy’s approach “to individual credit assessment with top-down considerations of the wide macroeconomic environment. We believe that our fundamentally-driven, bottom-up approach results in lower volatility and higher returns in the long term,” according to the firm’s information.
In addition, the fund has a global mandate and is managed to maximize total return by investing at least 80% in investment-grade corporate bonds. However, the fund also has the flexibility to invest up to 20% of the fund in high-yield corporate bonds, government bonds and other government securities.
