About This Fund

The Sarasin Responsible Strategic Bond Fund* invests across government, corporate and high-yield bonds, as well as the other parts of the fixed interest spectrum.

It offers investors management of all aspects of the fixed income asset class, including yield curve strategies, and actively managed corporate bond exposure across the full spectrum, including new issue participation.

Sustainable investment labels help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal.

Whilst the fund incorporates environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations, active ownership and impactful policy outreach, it does not have a defined sustainable goal or objective, therefore this product does not have a UK sustainable investment label.

*Until 31 October 2022, this fund was named Sarasin Sterling Bond

Key Benefits

The fund benefits from a rigorous research-based investment approach incorporating both top-down and bottom-up elements.

Bonds can offer investors an attractive and dependable income. They can also diversify a predominantly equity-based portfolio.

The fund is therefore an appealing option for investors seeking income and/or diversification from a well-diversified bond portfolio.

How we invest for this fund

Our fixed income investment process uses a macro-economic research foundation, drawing upon the expertise of the in-house economists with particularly emphasis on longer-term structural considerations.

Tactical asset allocation is paired with credit research. Portfolio construction is then performed by the fund managers, who will draw upon the top-down tactics discussed and agreed by the Fixed Income Committee and the bottom-up appraisals of the Credit Committee.
