Inflation

The fund’s objective is to invest in fixed income instruments, on a global and non-benchmarked basis, in inflation linked debt securities. Our absolute return objectives are assessed against the Barclays Global Inflation Linked Bond Index returns (75% Euro hedged, 25% non-hedged).

Protection against rising inflation is the main value driver of the fund. In second place, but extremely important, is the global exposure to inflation rates. We believe that being exposed to inflation outside the US and Europe will be an important value driver going forward.  Finally, achieving an absolute return implies that the duration of the fund is maintained in a defined bandwidth (6 to 9 years). As such duration bets are not a big driver of added value.
