Carmignac launches its third target maturity Fund

Carmignac Credit 2029

Published on
14 November 2023

Three years after the creation of our first target maturity bond fund, we are now launching Carmignac Credit 2029 so that investors can benefit from high yields on credit markets.

Favourable conditions

After a particularly turbulent year for bond markets and more than a decade
of very low and even negative interest rates, the horizon has cleared for the asset class.
The rise in interest rates, brought about by restrictive monetary policies introduced to tackle rampant inflation, now offers investors more attractive returns.

With market conditions still uncertain, a buy-and-hold strategy that combines visibility, diversification and selectivity may be an appropriate option.

Key features of Carmignac Credit 2029

Carmignac Credit 2029 follows a buy-and-hold strategy on global credit markets. With a careful selection of issuers, a target performance objective and predetermined end date1, Carmignac Credit 2029 gives investors visibility over their investment and diversifies the risks to which they are exposed.

A vast investment universe

Carmignac Credit 2029 may invest in both developed and emerging markets, in securities with diverse risk/return profiles, to build a diversified and selective portfolio with an average investment grade2 rating.

A target performance objective

The Fund targets an annualised performance, net of management fees, of more than 4.22% for A EUR Acc and A EUR Ydis units between its inception on 20/10/2023 and maturity on 28/02/20291.

Risks that diminish over time

In addition to systematic hedging of currency risk and to the portfolio’s diversification, the very nature of the Fund allows to anticipate a diminution of interest rate and credit risks as the end date approaches.

The objective does not constitute a promise of return or performance, the performance is not guaranteed.

Credit market expertise

The Fund benefits from the proven expertise of its management team, which already looks after two target maturity Funds launched in 2020 and 2022, as well as our Carmignac Portfolio Credit flexible credit strategy, launched in July 2017. Our experts have shown their ability to create value in different market conditions.

Citywire “Gold” rating

Carmignac is ranked Gold in Citywire’s “Bonds – Euro Corporates” category for its risk-adjusted return across the whole category over the 30/06/2016 – 30/06/20233 period.
