The Allianz Strategic Bond fund offers diversification, liquidity and potential upside by investing in fixed income markets globally. It targets a low correlation to equities, aiming to perform the role of a true portfolio diversifier, therefore offering protection in down markets and enhancing a portfolio’s overall risk adjusted return.1

Allianz Strategic Bond

Unconstrained investment universe

The fund aims to outperform the global bond market and we have chosen one of the broadest bond benchmarks to reflect this - the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate (FX Hedged), which is compiled of ~25,000 securities.1

Low equity correlation

We target a maximum of +0.4 correlation with the MSCI World Equity Index resulting in the fund exhibiting diversification characteristics which truly differentiate it from its peers who typically have a higher correlation to equities.1

Diversified alpha

Through its four core investment strategies the fund is able to fully harness fixed income alpha opportunities which are often overlooked by its peers. The team will allocate outside of the conventional bond universe when necessary to ensure it generates returns in the most efficient manner.1

For, as it frequently the case, it all comes down to the selection and combination of specific issues. Take a look at our chart, designed to help you understand the requirements for consistent performance - even in a low-rate environment.
