Products and Services

• Fixed- and Floating-Rate Securities

  Investments in bonds and other debt instruments that pay fixed or variable interest rates. These are fundamental for diversifying the fund's portfolio and are chosen based on their ability to provide stable returns under various economic conditions.

• Deposits and Money Market Instruments

  Short-term financial instruments, including bank deposits and treasury bills, that offer liquidity and safety of principal. Ideal for managing the fund's cash position and ensuring there's always capital on hand for investment opportunities.

• Convertible Bonds and Warrant-Linked Bonds

  Bonds that can be converted into a predetermined amount of the company's equity at certain times during their life, usually at the discretion of the bondholder. Warrant-linked bonds come with warrants, which are similar to options, providing the right but not the obligation to buy equity at a certain price. These instruments offer a hybrid between debt and equity investments, potentially increasing returns with the equity conversion feature.

• Participation and Dividend Right Certificates

  Certificates that grant the holder rights to participate in the profits or dividends of underlying assets or companies. These can offer higher returns based on company performance, adding a performance-linked component to the fund's investment strategy.

• Certificates on Investments with Underlying Instruments

  Investments in certificates that derive their value from an underlying asset, such as bond market indices or bond baskets. This allows the fund to gain exposure to a broader market or specific sectors without directly purchasing the underlying securities.

• Interest Rate Swaps and Swaptions

  Financial derivatives where two parties exchange interest rate cash flows, based on a specified amount of principal, which is not exchanged. Swaptions give the owner the right to enter into a swap. These tools are used to manage interest rate exposure and can be customized to meet the fund’s specific risk and return objectives.
