Melius Fixed Income Fund is a regulated mutual fund that aims to achieve an attractive level of growth whilst respecting risk diversification. The objective of the fund is to maximise total returns consistent with preservation of capital and prudent investment management. In seeking to achieve its investment objectives, the fund will aim to outperform its benchmark, the iShares Core US Aggregate Bond (AGG) over a rolling 3-year period.
The fund provides investors with an opportunity to benefit from the potential capital growth that is achievable from the global bond market and from other types of secured securities. To increase its diversification of assets within the fixed income sector, the fund intends to allocate part of its inflows in holdings such as Asset Backed Securities, UK Property Linked, US Insurance Linked, and Index Linked Actively Managed Certificates.
Given solid fundamental in-house credit insights, and by also utilizing the skills and performance of other world-class investment entities, a reasonable time horizon, and the ability to withstand short-term volatility, we believe credit opportunities in the bond market can be exploited to achieve attractive superior risk-adjusted returns.
This Fund is a medium to long-term investment and your capital is at risk.

All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and any income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed. The fund invests in a range of different types of bonds and funds. Companies who issue higher yield bonds typically have an increased risk of defaulting on repayments. In the event of default, the value of your investment may reduce. Economic conditions and interest rate levels may also impact significantly the values of bonds.
