Why this fund?

  • Well-resourced and experienced investment teams

    Invesco’s Fixed Income team has a 30-year track record of investing in corporate and higher yielding bonds. The fund invests in European investment grade corporate bonds, European high yield bonds, subordinated debt issued by financials and in European equities.

    The equity team also enjoys a long track record with equity fund manager Oliver Collin having over 20 years of investment experience. Oliver is supported by the Henley-based Invesco European Equities team to pick the best dividend-oriented opportunities.

  • Flexible approach to asset allocation

    The fund is free from having to track a benchmark index and the fund managers tilt the asset allocation according to market conditions and where they believe the best value is to be found.

    Bonds with strong balance sheets and predictable cashflows form the income core of our portfolio. The equity allocation aims to deliver additional income, diversification and enhanced returns. It can be adjusted depending on current market conditions.

  • Equity exposure aims to deliver additional income, diversification and enhanced returns

    The equity allocation is predominantly focused on Europe-based companies with the ability to pay strong and sustainable dividends. The exposure to equities can be adjusted depending on current market conditions.

  • As a large portion of the strategy is invested in less developed countries, you should be prepared to accept significantly large fluctuations in value.

    The strategy will invest in derivatives (complex instruments) which will result in leverage and may result in large fluctuations in value.

    Debt instruments are exposed to credit risk which is the ability of the borrower to repay the interest and capital on the redemption date.

    Investments in debt instruments which are of lower credit quality may result in large fluctuations in value.

    Changes in interest rates will result in fluctuations in value.

    The strategy may invest in distressed securities which carry a significant risk of capital loss.

    Investment in certain securities listed in China can involve significant regulatory constraints that may affect liquidity and/or investment performance.

Frequently asked questions

One benefit of the bond portion of a mixed asset portfolio is that it has the potential to deliver a steady income stream while offsetting stock market volatility. Meanwhile, a benefit of the equity component is that it has the potential to deliver higher returns in the long term.

After over a decade of low growth and relative market underperformance, the opportunity in Europe is much more encouraging. This is in part because investors are starting to question whether the era of US exceptionalism may be coming to an end, meaning Europe looks much more attractive on a relative basis. But more interestingly than that, there are changes afoot in Europe itself which are driving a much-improved outlook: Lower interest rates and lower inflation; a stronger consumer with increased real wages and the savings available to spend; plus, of course, meaningful fiscal stimulus.

Value investing is an investment strategy that involves picking securities that appear to be trading for less than their intrinsic or book value. To identify underestimated investments, value investors use their own financial analysis, rather than ‘following the herd’, and are long-term investors of quality companies.
