Absolute return global bond strategies

For fixed income investors looking to achieve positive returns regardless of economic conditions, an allocation to absolute return bond funds is worth considering. These funds aim to provide low-risk, positive performance across all investment environments, through extensive diversification across fixed income strategies. At Standard Life Investments, we launched our Absolute Return Global Bond Strategies Fund in March 2011. It aims to deliver an absolute return over rolling 12-month periods and a target return of cash* +2.5% per annum, gross of fees, over rolling 3-year periods.

To achieve this, our management team brings together the macroeconomic investment themes of our Multi-Asset Investing Team with the tactical investment themes of our Fixed Income Team. The team manages the Fund without benchmark constraints, using a robust investment process to generate and implement a wide range of fixed income and currency portfolio strategies. Stringent risk management and controls are also vital in meeting the Fund's target at an acceptable level of risk.
