Insight Investment, a leading global investment manager, has announced that the Insight Global Absolute Return Bond Fund has been added as an investment option to the HUB24 platform.

The Insight Global Absolute Return Bond Fund aims to provide a positive absolute return in all market conditions over a rolling 12 month period and seeks to offer globally diversified exposure across global government bond, corporate bond and currency markets. It uses a broad range of fixed income securities including but not limited to government, inflation-linked and investment grade corporate bonds, high yield and emerging market debt.

Bruce Murphy, Director Australia and New Zealand, Insight Investment, said: “We’re pleased to see HUB24’s award winning platform offer advisers and licensees access to the Insight Global Absolute Return Bond Fund. It’s a further step in our strategy to bring Insight’s institutional quality strategies to Australian advisers.

“Absolute return funds have grown in popularity because they seek to provide investors with greater certainty with regards to investment outcomes. They can also act as a portfolio diversifier against traditional benchmarked strategies.”

The A$513.8m1 fund is co-managed by Andrew Wickham, Deputy Head of Fixed Income, and Peter Bentley, Head of UK and Global Credit, and supported by the wider fixed income team of 98 investment professionals.

Yesterday’s announcement follows the fund’s recent ‘Recommended’ rating from research house Zenith Investment Partners2. Zenith described the fund as a strong entrant to its ‘Unconstrained’ category and praised the high calibre of the investment team and intuitively appealing investment process.

Insight manages A$896bn3 globally and A$36.8bn3 on behalf of Australian institutional investors. Headquartered in London, Insight has operations in the UK, US and Australia and employs 215 investment professionals globally; of 708 staff in total.
