After launching our first target maturity fund invested in credit markets in 2020 and confident that the current environment favours this type of carry strategy, today we are launching its second edition: Carmignac Credit 2027.

Carmignac Credit 2027 in a nutshell

A proven approach to credit markets

A favourable environment

Interest rates have risen over the past several months, accelerating to levels that became attractive in credit markets.

Amidst an uncertain market context, carry could be a well-suited strategy, as it combines diversification through carefully selected bonds, with visibility, through an indication of return ahead of time and a clear maturity date1.

Carmignac Credit 2027 in a nutshell

Managed by Carmignac’s credit market experts, Carmignac Credit 2027 is based on a carry strategy of private and public sector issuers. The Fund targets appreciation of invested capital over a five-year horizon, while giving investors an opportunity for early redemption if the Fund’s internal rate of return hits one of the thresholds mentioned in its prospectus prior to maturity1.

A carry strategy with an early-redemption option

During the third or fourth year, investors may recover their capital prior to maturity if the Fund reaches or exceeds a performance deemed appropriate, as defined in the prospectus1.

A vast investment universe

Carmignac Credit 2027 seeks to capture attractive credit premiums worldwide while hedging against currency risk, with the goal of building up a diversified and selective portfolio based on strong convictions.

Risks that recede over time

In addition to systematic hedging of currency risk, the Fund’s very nature provides for a receding of interest-rate risk as the maturity date approaches.

The Fund presents a risk of loss of capital, the performance is not guaranteed.

Portfolio construction is based on an in-depth analysis of each opportunity researched, including a conservative estimate of the fundamental cost of risk2. This analysis is also used to determine the terms and conditions under which the early-redemption option may be exercised, particularly for calculating the internal rate of return that the Fund must achieve.

The fund has an initial subscription period from 2 May 2022 to 30 June 2022.

A proven approach to credit markets

The Fund benefits from the solid and proven expertise of its management team, which already manages our first target-date fund, Carmignac Credit 2025, which we launched in October 2020, as well as our global credit strategy Carmignac Portfolio Credit, which we launched in July 2017.

These strategies have already proven their potential since their respective launches:
