Ways to Invest
Find out how to invest in this fundHL Research - Our view on this Fund
With the exception of 1929, Stephen Snowden believes corporate bonds have never looked so attractive. The fund has suffered enormously as it held some of the bank bonds which have been affected by the credit crunch. He had the fund positioned in them as he anticipated a recovery earlier than has been the case. He believes bond yields look exceptionally valued and that it is unlikely defaults will be as high as the market predicts.
