The fund has the flexibility to maximize returns during all market environments by investing wherever the best bond opportunities lie globally. This feature is unlike most European bond funds, which traditionally use a range of modern investment techniques to boost returns. However, the JPM flexible bond fund is able to invest in all fixed-income securities in order to take advantage of the best opportunities in global markets.
The fund is suited to investors who are looking to produce returns in excess of the European bond market, and to achieve a high level of fixed income diversification from a single fund, while minimizing the risk of significant capital loss.
John Donohue, chief investment officer of international fixed income at JPMorgan Asset Management (JPMAM), said: The fund’s flexible approach uses a combination of JPMAM’s breadth of fixed income expertise with a stock-picking approach to identify strong investment opportunities across the entire spectrum. This means that the investors benefit from both the right asset allocation mix for the prevailing investment climate, and the best individual investment opportunities as they arise. For European investors, this level of global diversification is far higher than in traditional European bond funds.
