Royal London Asset Management (RLAM) has launched the Royal London Buy & Maintain Credit Fund within its Royal London Pooled Pension Company (RLPPC) range of funds.

Based on RLAM’s existing buy & maintain strategies that are managed on a segregated basis for a range of pension scheme clients, the Royal London Buy & Maintain Credit Fund is a pooled solution that aims to deliver long-term cash flows while looking to minimize the probability and impact of defaults by focusing on those areas that remain undervalued on a risk-adjusted basis.

RLAM said that the new fund will offer pension schemes a diversified portfolio of investment grade credit bonds with a particular focus on those that offer genuine and protective credit enhancements through security and strong covenants.

Shalin Shah, who has been a member of RLAM’s Fixed Interest team for five years, will be a lead manager for the Royal London Buy & Maintain Credit Fund.

Over the last 24 months, Shah has worked closely with Jonathan Platt, head of interest, on the development and management of segregated buy & maintain credit strategies. Both of them will be responsible for the construction and on-going management of the Royal London Buy & Maintain Credit Fund.

Rob Williams, head of distribution at RLAM, said: "Our deep understanding of the markets in which we invest, combined with exhaustive analysis, means that we have the necessary expertise to build robust credit-based strategies that are ideally suited to buy & maintain investors’ long-term needs and objectives."
