Positioned to cope in different market environments
Interest rates fluctuate over time, making it difficult for traditional fixed income funds to deliver consistent
returns. To address this, the United SGD Fund employs a laddered investment strategy to smoothen out the impact of
fluctuating interest rates.
The Fund invests in investment grade bonds with different maturity dates across a three-year timeframe. This way,
investment maturities of bonds are spread across one-year, two-year and three-year horizons to enhance the overall
return. This strategy tends to and has shown to work in both environments of rising or falling interest rates.
In a rising interest rate environment, the capital from matured bonds in the Fund will be reinvested in
higher-yielding, shorter-dated bonds. This approach enables the Fund to capture higher yields and enhance total
return for investors.
In a lower interest rate environment, the Fund remains invested in longer maturity bonds and continues to earn higher yields.
