OVERVIEW

Fund Objective

CRED aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) that provides intelligent exposure to a portfolio of senior, fixed-rate, investment grade Australian corporate bonds.

Fund Strategy

The Fund’s strategy will preference securities offering superior expected excess returns over Australian government bonds. Up to 50 bonds are selected, with eligible bonds requiring amounts outstanding of >$250m and a term to maturity of between 5.25 to 10.25 years.

Benefits of CRED

Attractive income paid monthly

Income is paid monthly at a rate expected to be higher than term deposits, government and composite bond exposures.

Diversification & defence

Australian corporate bonds historically have tended to rise when Australian shares have fallen, providing potential diversification and defensive benefits for portfolios.

Invest in bonds intelligently

CRED selects bonds based on expected returns rather than debt outstanding, seeking to avoid the shortcomings of traditional debt-weighted indices and provide higher returns.

How to Invest

  • You can buy or sell units just like you’d buy or sell any share on the ASX.
  • Fund requires no minimum investment.

Portfolio Characteristics

Running Yield (% p.a.)
Average annual coupon (weighted by market value) of the bonds in the portfolio, divided by the current market price of the bonds (including any accrued interest). Provides an indication of expected income receivable over the next 12 months, however it does not take into account capital gains/losses realisable when a bond is sold or matures.
 3.16
Yield to Maturity (% p.a.)
The annualised total expected return of a bond if it is held to maturity, the bond does not default, and the coupons are reinvested [at the Yield to Maturity (YTM)]. The fund's YTM is the weighted average of its underlying bonds' YTMs. The YTM for FX-hedged exposures reflects the annualised costs and benefits of FX hedging for relevant funds.
 3.35
Yield to Worst (% p.a.)
The annualised total expected return of a bond if it is held to maturity or is called, the bond does not default, and the coupons are reinvested [at the Yield To Worst (YTW)]. The YTW is the lower of either YTM or Yield to Call (YTC), where YTC is calculated in the same way as YTM but replacing the maturity date with the call date. The fund's YTW is the weighted average of its underlying bonds' YTWs. The YTW for FX-hedged exposures reflects the annualised costs and benefits of FX hedging for relevant funds.
 3.35
Average Maturity (yrs)
Average (weighted by market value) length of time until the current bonds in the portfolio mature.
7.62
Modified Duration (yrs)
A measure of the sensitivity of the portfolio’s value to a change in interest rates. For example, a Modified Duration of 0.15 years implies that a 1% rise in the reference interest rate will reduce the value of the portfolio by 0.15%.
6.62
Average Credit Rating
Average credit rating for the bonds in the portfolio. Source: Bloomberg
