M&G Investments
London-headquartered M&G
Investments's $188.4 billion global public fixed income team
has launched the M&G (Lux) Asian Quality Income Fund, a new
Asian fixed income strategy. Developed in response to sustained
investor interest in high-quality Asian bond opportunities, the
fund broadens M&G’s regional offering and reinforces its
long-term commitment to uncovering resilient income in Asia. The
launch also signifies a further development in M&G’s
cooperation with Guotai Haitong Securities, Guotai Junan Assets
(Asia) and Guotai Junan Securities (Hong Kong) which
provide support on non-discretionary advisory and
distribution to professional investors.
The fund seeks income opportunities in developed and emerging Asia, investing in high-quality, US dollar-denominated Asian investment grade corporate bonds. By adopting a flexible, benchmark-unconstrained approach it is designed to deliver a blend of capital growth and income over a three-year horizon, with ESG integration.
“In today’s uncertain climate, resilient income and diversification are vital. Asian investment grade credit offers both, backed by strong fundamentals and supportive local demand,” Andrew Chorlton, chief investment officer of fixed income at M&G Investments, said. “This new strategy reflects our commitment to expanding M&G’s global credit reach – especially in Asia – building on the momentum of our China Corporate Bond Strategy. With scale, global management, and deep credit expertise, we’re ready to uncover standout opportunities across the region.”
“Asian US dollar investment-grade bonds offer a rare mix of quality, yield and stability,” William Xin, portfolio manager, Asia fixed income at M&G Investments, added. “Sector diversity, limited supply and strong sovereign ties create a resilient income stream, while healthy corporate balance sheets and deepening local demand continue to boost market liquidity.”
M&G Investments’ has £335 billion ($447 billion) in assets under management.
