This new fund is launched in response to growing demand from institutional investors seeking diversification within the fixed income asset class with higher average returns.
The fund will be managed by Aviva Investors Asia fixed income team head and chief executive, Kevin Talbot, and senior vice president and portfolio manager, Tim Jagger, based in Aviva’s Singapore unit.
Talbot said: "The Asian high yield market has a very low correlation with government bonds. Historically, it has also outperformed US high yield despite better than average credit ratings whilst outperforming Asian equities for around half the volatility."
The fund is registered for sale in Luxembourg and Singapore.
