Fund description

The ABS Opportunity strategy aims to benefit from actively allocating to the best value opportunities across a wide range sectors within the ABS market. The strategy is designed to invest across the global ABS space with a focus on European ABS markets and produce a through-cycle return of Euribor + 500bps (gross). The Fund has a focus on asset backed securities with a credit rating which is deemed to be ‘non-investment grade’.

 
Non-investment grade is defined as meeting one or more of the following rating criteria: Ba1 or lower by Moody's Investor Services (Moody's); BB+ or lower by Standard & Poor's Rating Services (S&P) or Fitch Ratings Inc (Fitch). With complimentary top-down and bottom-up processes, the dominant sources of alpha will be macro positioning, asset allocation and bond selection.
