Investment policy

The fund invests mainly in investment grade bonds from anywhere in the world.

The fund is categorised as article 8 under SFDR and promotes environmental and/or social characteristics, as well as good governance practices, through screening, exclusions, investment analysis and decision-making as well as active ownership. The fund follows Danske Invest's responsible investment policy.

Specifically, the fund invests at least two-thirds of net assets in corporate bonds and other debt instruments that are traded on a regulated market and are rated from A1/A+ to Baa3/BBB- (or similar). The fund may invest up to 10% of net assets in below investment grade bonds that are rated from Ba1/BB+ to B3/B- (or similar).

In actively managing the fund’s portfolio, the management team selects securities from a wide range of companies and sectors that appear to offer superior investment characteristics.

The fund generally expects that its holdings, and therefore its performance, may differ significantly from those of the benchmark.

The fund may use derivatives for hedging and efficient portfolio management, as well as for investment purposes.

The total duration, including cash, is the benchmark duration plus or minus 2 years.

The main part of the share class' NAV will be hedged against the base currency of the fund. However, the share class remains exposed to the currencies of the investments in the fund.

Recommendation: This fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within 3 years.
