The strategy seeks to generate excess returns through credit quality assessment and relative value opportunities rather than duration positioning, while maintaining interest-rate duration close to benchmark levels. The portfolio invests in a diversified universe of euro-denominated corporate bonds, with at least 75% allocated to investment grade issuers and up to 25% invested in selected high yield opportunities. An attractive running yield remains a key component of total return generation.
