I believe rigorous bottom-up fundamental analysis should be the cornerstone of the credit selection process, while also maintaining a deep understanding of top-down macro thematic, secular drivers.

Considerations

Investors should note that, relative to the expectations of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, this UCITS presents disproportionate communication on the consideration of non-financial criteria in its investment policy.

Prior to investing in the Fund investors should carefully consider the risks associated with investing, whether the Fund suits their investment requirements and whether they have sufficient resources to bear any losses which may result from an investment in the Fund. Investors should only invest if they understand the terms on which the Fund is offered. Investors should consider the following risks and where appropriate seek professional advice before investing:

  • Investment Objective Risk - There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.

  • Market Risk - The Fund is subject to normal market fluctuations and the risks associated with investing in international securities markets. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it may rise as well as fall and you may not get back the amount originally invested.

  • Counterparty Risk - The Fund will be exposed to credit risk on counterparties with which it trades in relation to on-exchange traded instruments such as futures and options and where applicable, 'over-the-counter' ("OTC","non-exchange") transactions. OTC instruments may also be less liquid and are not afforded the same protections that may apply to participants trading instruments on an organised exchange.

  • Currency Risk - The value of investments designated in another currency may rise and fall due to exchange rate fluctuations. Adverse movements in currency exchange rates may result in a decrease in return and a loss of capital. It may not be possible or practicable to successfully hedge against the currency risk exposure in all circumstances.

  • Liquidity Risk - The Fund may make investments or hold trading positions in markets that are volatile and which may become illiquid. Timely and cost efficient sale of trading positions can be impaired by decreased trading volume and/or increased price volatility.

  • Financial Derivatives Instruments - The Fund will invest financial derivative instruments ("FDI") (instruments whose prices are dependent on one or more underlying asset) to achieve its investment objective. The use of FDI involves additional risks such as high sensitivity to price movements of the asset on which it is based. The extensive use of FDI may significantly multiply the gains or losses.

  • Leverage Risk - The Fund's use of FDI may result in increased leverage which may lead to significant losses.

  • Total Return - Whilst the Fund aims to provide capital growth, a positive return is not guaranteed over any time period and capital is in fact at risk.

  • Emerging Markets - The Fund may invest a significant proportion of its assets in securities with exposure to emerging markets which involve additional risks relating to matters such as the illiquidity of securities and the potentially volatile nature of markets not typically associated with investing in other more established economies or markets.

  • Hybrid Securities - The Fund may invest in contingent convertible ("coco") bonds. The performance of such bonds is dependent on a number of factors including interest rates, credit and equity performance, and the correlations between factors. As such these securities introduce significant additional risk to an investment in the Fund.

  • Non-Investment Grade Securities - The Fund may invest a significant proportion of its assets in non-investment grade securities (such as "high yield" securities) are considered higher risk investments that may cause income and principal losses for the Fund. They are instruments which credit agencies have given a rating which indicates a higher risk of default. The market values for high yield bonds and other instruments tend to be volatile and they are less liquid than investment grade securities.

A complete description of risks is set out in the Fund's prospectus.

The Fund is a sub-fund of Man Funds VI plc, domiciled in Ireland and registered with the Central Bank of Ireland. Full details of the Fund's objectives, investment policy and risks are located in the Prospectus which with the Key Investor Information Document (KIID), and the Report and Accounts of the UCITS, are accessible free of charge from the local information/paying agent, from authorised distributors and from www.man.com/documents. The KIID is available in English and in an official language of the jurisdictions in which the Fund is registered for public sale.

In order to fulfil the fund's objectives the Prospectus allows the manager the ability to invest principally in units of other collective investment schemes, bank deposits, derivatives contracts designed with the aim of gaining short term exposure to an underlying stock or index at a lower cost than owning the asset, or assets aiming to replicate a stock or debt securities index.

More than 35% of the Fund's total holdings in bonds may be issued by or guaranteed by:
