THE CARMIGNAC CREDIT EXPERTISE

Complementary strategies for investing in credit markets

The credit universe offers a broad range of opportunities across its different segments. Capturing their full potential requires both specialist knowledge and a flexible investment approach. Strengthen your credit allocation with Carmignac’s proven track record and long-standing expertise.

Credit markets, made up primarily of bonds issued by companies to raise capital and support their growth, are far broader than they may appear. As one of the few asset classes capable of delivering attractive long-term returns with a degree of visibility, credit can play a valuable role in investors’ portfolios, provided the right approach is taken. Discover Carmignac's recognised expertise in navigating credit markets.

Access the entire credit spectrum for maximum flexibility

Credit markets offer a wealth of opportunities, provided you have a rigorous approach to identifying the most promising ones and the flexibility to seize them. At Carmignac, our experts draw on fundamental analysis and in-depth knowledge of each segment to build a diversified portfolio with an attractive risk-return profile. Their approach is built on three key pillars:

Global approach

A broad investment universe to build diversified portfolios across developed and emerging markets, investment grade and high-yield securities, structured credit and beyond.

Flexible management

A high-conviction investment philosophy that allows Fund Managers to adjust their credit market exposure and select or avoid specific sectors and issuers according to their attractiveness.

Highly selective investment process

A rigorous security selection process combining in-depth issuer analysis with a thorough assessment of default risk: only a small fraction of the companies we analyse ultimately qualify for inclusion in the portfolio.
This flexible and selective approach to credit markets is available through two complementary dedicated strategies:

Carmignac Portfolio Credit

A flexible strategy designed to capture the many performance drivers available in credit markets, regardless of market conditions.

Target maturity fixed income Funds

A carry strategy designed to provide visibility through a performance objective over a predefined horizon, while anticipating a gradual reduction in risk as maturity approaches.

Target maturity fixed income funds

A carry strategy designed to provide visibility through a performance objective over a predefined horizon, while anticipating a gradual reduction in risk as maturity approaches.

Discover the key features of Carmignac’s established franchise:

Our target maturity fixed income Funds implement a carry strategy – i.e. holding securities in the portfolio until a date close to their maturity – across global credit markets.

Thanks to a performance objective or target performance indication, a predefined maturity date, and a rigorous and diversified selection of issuers, our target maturity fixed income Funds provide investors with greater visibility over their investment.

The very nature of these Funds also makes it possible to anticipate a gradual reduction in interest rate and credit risks as the maturity date approaches.
