Swedbank Robur launches Corporate Bond Nordic High Yield
High yield bonds are issued by companies with lower credit ratings and therefore offer higher interest rates. This provides the potential for higher returns compared to traditional fixed income funds, but with a somewhat higher risk level.
“The Nordic high yield market is characterised by strong issuance activity, a broad sector mix and a focus on sustainable companies. This makes the market attractive for investors seeking a combination of return potential and sustainability considerations,” says Jan Bjerkeheim, Portfolio Manager of Swedbank Robur Corporate Bond Nordic High Yield.
The fund’s portfolio consists of a wide range of bonds, often with shorter duration, which contributes to low interest rate sensitivity. The primary focus is on credit risk, aiming to deliver a smoother performance than the equity market while maintaining the potential for strong returns.
“Through this fund, retail investors gain access to a well-diversified portfolio of hundreds of bonds offering broad diversification, something that would be difficult to achieve as an individual investor,” says Xuli Qian, Portfolio Manager of Swedbank Robur Corporate Bond Nordic High Yield.
Corporate Bond Nordic High Yield is managed by an experienced team of specialists: Jan Bjerkeheim, Mathias Westman and Xuli Qian, who bring long-standing expertise in credit markets.
