Please read the important information of the fund before proceeding
UBS (HK) Fund Series – China High Yield Bond (USD)
1. The Fund, UBS (HK) Fund Series – China High Yield Bond (USD) (or “ UBS China High Yield Fund”) invests primarily in debt securities issued by entities which are domiciled or generate a predominant share of their sales and/or their profits in greater China.
China is the second largest bond market globally. China's offshore bond market also offers investors enhanced diversification, liquidity, and broad investment opportunities with attractive yield.
China high yield bonds offer relatively attractive yields and a positive fundamental outlook. Longer term, we hold a positive outlook on the China high yield sector with the continued accommodative stance of central bank policies and sound credit fundamentals.
Asset class | Asset class | Yield (%) | Yield (%) |
---|---|---|---|
Asset class | China USD High Yield | Yield (%) | 25.5 |
Asset class | Asia High Yield | Yield (%) | 14.2 |
Asset class | USD High Yield | Yield (%) | 8.9 |
Asset class | EUR High Yield | Yield (%) | 8.1 |
The Fund focuses on attractive risk adjusted returns and total return, not just yield. Through active management, dynamic risk positioning, and diligent security selection, the Fund seeks to generate attractive total returns throughout market cycles.
Current China high yield spread levels are trading close to historic peaks since 2005 with a percentile rank of 96%1. The only periods when spreads traded wider than they are currently at, are during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis and the 2011 Sovereign Debt Crisis. We see an attractive entry point for China high yield to capture the spread compression opportunity relative to other opportunities in fixed income, whilst being cognizant of the risks of this asset class.
