The first two funds are part of the firm’s Luxembourg-domiciled Global Strategy Fund range and have been registered for sale to retail clients in 17 countries, including Singapore, Hong Kong, Luxembourg and Ireland, while the third fund is an international version of its existing UK-domiciled Global Diversified Growth Fund.
The funds will target international investors, discretionary buyers, fund of funds and institutional buyers on a global basis and will be distributed through selected networks.
The Investec GSF Emerging Market Debt Total return Fund is a total-return, benchmark-agnostic fund managed by Antoon de Klerk and Andre Roux, who are backed by Investec Asset Management’s team of investment specialists led by co-heads Peter Eerdmans and Werner Gey van Pittius.
The strategy aims to provide exposure to a range of emerging market fixed income opportunities. It will focus on local EMD, but will also make allocations to hard and corporate EMD at times.

By GlobalDataManaged by Wilfred Wee and Peter Eerdmans, the Asia Local Currency Bond Fund will invest in a regionally diversified portfolio of Asia local currency sovereign and corporate bonds.
This fund aims to capture a significant yield premium over developed market bonds with a typically shorter interest rate duration risk, and uses an investment process specifically designed for local currency emerging market debt.
Investec said that Global Diversified Growth Fund aims to provide investors with a return of US CPI +5% per annum, with half the volatility of equities over a rolling five year period.
The fund is launched following demand for a US-dollar centric version of the existing UK domiciled Investec Diversified Growth Fund and will also be managed by Philip Saunders and Michael Spinks, co-heads of Investec Asset Management’s Multi-Asset team, backed by Investec’s expert in-house investment capabilities.
