We seek opportunities along the entire credit risk spectrum to boost income.
Why this fund?The Invesco Monthly Income Plus Fund(UK) is an actively managed, flexible fund focused on generating income and growth. The portfolio managers invest across the bond market, including high yield and investment grade corporates and subordinated debt (debt that ranks below more senior debt), with up to 20% allocation to equities.
Aside from high-yield bonds, corporate bonds and government bonds, we invest in equities (up to a 20% allocation) with strong balance sheets and attractive dividend yields. We adjust the equity position depending on market conditions.
Put simply, we aim to provide you with income and growth over the medium to long term by taking advantage of both bonds and equities.
We seek to generate a high level of income from various parts of the credit spectrum.
At the same time, the portfolio can capture the capital growth offered by stock markets. We favour companies with visibility of revenues, profits and cash flows. These aspects should help us deliver shareholder value in the form of a sustainable and growing dividend.

The fund invests in investment grade corporate bonds, high yield, subordinated debt issued by financials and emerging markets.

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.
Diversification is the main benefit of global investing. A diversified portfolio is more likely to act as a source of stability during market volatility. Moreover, the investment universe is not limited from a geographical perspective and the fund managers can invest wherever they see the best opportunities globally.
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.
