Yield Report: Payden Global Income Opportunities Fund

The Payden Global Income Opportunities Fund (the Fund) is managed by experienced fixed income manager Payden & Rygel. It is an actively managed fund that provides investors access to a highly diversified and well-researched portfolio of global fixed income and equity-related investments from developed and emerging markets.

The Fund is designed to generate steady and dependable returns regardless of the market environment and aims to produce a return of Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index + 250 basis points (after fees) over the medium term.

This positive return objective is possible because the Fund is unconstrained, an investment strategy that is not beholden to a benchmark. It is designed to be better able to navigate the complexities of the evolving fixed income landscape and changing economic environment.

Traditional bond funds are managed against an applicable bond index, which are generally most heavily weighted to the biggest debtors. Global fixed income indices measure two exposures: country exposure, generally weighted towards those countries that have issued the most debt, and security exposure, also weighted toward those that have issued the most debt. If the index has a longer duration profile, the fund generally reflects that duration too.

In an environment with low yields, high volatility and a lot of uncertainty, traditional benchmark-based approaches to fixed income investment can be less effective.

Unconstrained strategies are typically managed to beat a cash or equivalent benchmark, rather than a bond index; this removes constraints around duration and sector positioning. The result? A Fund that has the flexibility to dynamically alter its investment mix to find the best opportunities across securities, duration, and geography.
