The managers’ process starts with, and is focused on, resilient income-generating security selection, which we believe is the best way to generate defensive returns.
This bottom-up, active approach has delivered on the Fund’s defensive outcomes since inception in September 20121.
• Aims for defensive returns, driven by yield (targets 4-6% p.a., distributed monthly)
• Targets less than half the volatility of UK equities
• Seeks attractive, sustainable yield
“”We spend our time on selecting resilient, yield-generating securities with attributes aligned to the Fund’s objectives.”
John Stopford, Portfolio Manager, Investec Diversified Income Fund
