Unconstrained by a benchmark, the Invesco Global Total Return (EUR) Bond Fund can invest in a wide range of government and corporate bond markets. Within this remit it takes advantage of opportunities on both a short term tactical and longer-term strategic basis. By adopting this flexible approach, the fund seeks to deliver performance in a range of different market conditions.
The flexible approach of the fund embodies the investment team’s philosophy of only investing when the compensation for doing so is sufficient. The fund invests in government bonds, corporate bonds, high yield bonds and emerging market bonds and can shift its exposures according to fund manager views. Moreover, the fund does not have to remain invested as the fund can hold up to 100% in cash and near cash instruments.
The proof of any investment strategy is ultimately its performance. As at 30 June 2020 the fund is top quartile over 1, 3 and 5 years and since launch. Indeed, since inception the fund is ranked 3/25.

The value of investments and any income will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange-rate fluctuations) and investors may not get back the full amount invested. Debt instruments are exposed to credit risk which is the ability of the borrower to repay the interest and capital on the redemption date. Changes in interest rates will result in fluctuations in the value of the fund. The fund uses derivatives (complex instruments) for investment purposes, which may result in the Fund being significantly leveraged and may result in large fluctuations in the value of the fund. Investments in debt instruments which are of lower credit quality may result in large fluctuations in the value of the Fund. The fund may invest in distressed securities which carry a significant risk of capital loss. The fund may invest extensively in contingent convertible bonds which may result in significant risk of capital loss based on certain trigger events. The fund may invest in a dynamic way across assets/asset classes, which may result in periodic changes in the risk profile, underperformance and/or higher transaction costs.
