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.
