Key Strategies
JPM Life UK Long Dated Bond Fund
Aims to achieve consistently strong returns by investing in long-dated bonds – typically those with 15 years or more until maturity. The fund focuses on UK government bonds but can also invest in selected corporate bonds and global government bonds.
JPM Life UK Bond Fund
Aims to achieve strong returns by investing predominantly in UK government bonds of all maturities. The fund focus may also maintain some non-government exposure to boost yield opportunities.
JPM Global Corporate Bond Fund
The fund seeks to achieve a return in excess of global corporate markets by investing primarily in global fixed and floating rate debt securities. It may also use derivative strategies where appropriate. The fund primarily uses an investment grade corporate bond strategy, but may invest in high yield corporate bond issues to a limited extent.
JPM Income Opportunity Fund
The fund aims to produce income and total returns from variable fixed income market exposures and from security selection within active fixed income sub-portfolios. The result is a well-diversified portfolio offering enhanced returns and reduced volatility.
JPM Strategic Bond Fund
The JPMorgan Strategic Bond Fund is a dynamic global bond fund that has the ability to seek out the most attractive return opportunities across the fixed income spectrum, from government bonds to corporate credit to high yield and emerging market debt.
JPM Global High Yield Fund
The JPM Global High Yield Bond Fund offers investors the potential to earn higher yields than government and investment grade bonds by investing in a diversified portfolio of high yield bonds.
