Surfing the economic cycle: discover the power of a flexible long-term approach
Flexibility can make all the difference when navigating the various stages of the economic cycle. At Carmignac, for more than 30 years now our independence has allowed us the freedom to implement a truly active approach, enabling us to seek out investment opportunities wherever they may be.
This mindset is fully reflected in our range of fixed income Funds. They embrace a fundamentally flexible approach underpinned by a rigorous risk management framework and have been designed to adapt to different market configurations, be they bullish or bearish.
All our fixed income Funds share the same philosophy: an active, global and non-benchmarked investment approach relying on high flexibility in managing exposures to the different segments of the fixed income universe:
An active management of exposures through a range of dedicated tools.
A broad and diversified investment universe.
Allocation not constrained by a benchmark.
Our range consists of five complementary investment solutions, designed to cater to different investor profiles depending on their risk appetite. Thereby, the Funds differ in terms of investment universe, process and performance drivers:
Whether through interest rate, credit or currency strategies, within developed or emerging markets, this range has been created to meet the different needs of investors, depending on their investment objectives or their tolerance to volatility.

• Non-benchmarked: portfolio construction is a result of Fund manager views and market analysis with no bias to any benchmark. • Volatility: range of price variation of a security, fund, market or index, which enables the measurement of risk over a given period. It is determined using the standard deviation obtained by calculating the square root of the variance. The variance is obtained by calculating the average deviation from the mean, which is then squared. The greater the volatility, the greater the risk.• Duration: a bond’s duration is the period beyond which interest rate variations will no longer affect its return. The duration is like a discounted average lifetime of all flows (interest and capital).• Modified duration: a bond’s modified duration measures the risk attached to a given change in the interest rate. Modified duration of +2 means that for an instantaneous 1% rate increase, the portfolio’s value would drop by 2%.• High Yield: a loan or bond rated below investment grade because of its higher default risk. The return on these securities is generally higher. • Investment Grade: a loan or bond that rating agencies have rated AAA to BBB-, generally indicating relatively low default risk. • Top-down investing: an investment strategy which finds the best sectors or industries to invest in, based on analysis of the corporate sector as a whole and general economic trends (as opposed to bottom-up investing). • Bottom-up investing: Investment based on analysis of individual companies, whereby that company's history, management, and potential are considered more important than general market or sector trends (as opposed to top-down investing). • Credit cycle: a credit cycle describes the different phases of access to credit by borrowers. It alternates between periods of easily accessible funds to borrow due to low interest rates and periods of contraction where lending rules are more restrictive and interest rates are higher.
