BNY MELLON GLOBAL CREDIT FUND*

 

A fixed-income portfolio with exposure to global credit markets.
The dominant focus is on high-quality issues with the flexibility to selectively hold high yield bonds, asset-backed securities, and emerging market debt.

WHY GLOBAL CREDIT?

Why global credit?

Credit investing will not be without risk, particularly in uncertain economic conditions in the market have changed markedly over the last year, so we believe there are many features that mean considering credit now may make sense.

The potential for income and capital gains

Amid rising yields and spreads (the difference in yield between corporate bonds and other fixedincome instruments with the same maturity dates), there is the potential to generate a meaningful income for the first time in over a decade. Should yields decline over time, it is likely that investors could also enjoy capital gains.

Greater scope to capture relative valuation opportunities

Market turbulence and volatility may distort investors’ views about the accurate pricing of individual bonds and their issuers. This provides an opportunity for our active managers to capture relative value opportunities..

 

Peak interest rates may be approaching

When inflation eventually moderates and the economic backdrop improves, companies may look to expand and issue new tranches of corporate bonds.

WHY THIS FUND?

Why BNY Mellon Global Credit Fund?

We have identified five broad areas that are prospective sources of added value and risk. The level of emphasis on each can vary at different points in time according to market conditions. Our fund managers combine top-down macroeconomic views with high-conviction bottom-up security selection. 

Note: PR1-4 refers to our rating of performance potential. Those rated PR1-2 have higher alpha potential and may be held as an overweight position. PR3 represents those which appear to have fair fundamentals and valuations, typically held at neutral weight, expected to perform in line with the market overall. PR4 are those with lower alpha potential, typically held as underweight positions

BNY Investments' fixed-income team is distinguished by its specialist expertise, industry knowledge and long-term track record. Its investment philosophy focuses on precision and diversification, seeking consistent risk-adjusted returns from a globally opportunity set.

Risk is actively managed, aiming to ensure that sources of added value are diverse, and the Fund’s performance is not dominated by a single, or a few, holdings.

  • China Interbank Bond Market and Bond Connect risk: The Fund may invest in China interbank bond market through connection between the related Mainland and Hong Kong financial infrastructure institutions. These may be subject to regulatory changes, settlement risk and quota limitations. An operational constraint such as a suspension in trading could negatively affect the Fund's ability to achieve its investment objective.
  • Geographic Concentration Risk: Where the Fund invests significantly in a single market, this may have a material impact on the value of the Fund.
  • Objective/Performance Risk: There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objectives.
  • Currency Risk: This Fund invests in international markets which means it is exposed to changes in currency rates which could affect the value of the Fund.
  • Derivatives Risk: Derivatives are highly sensitive to changes in the value of the asset from which their value is derived. A small movement in the value of the underlying asset can cause a large movement in the value of the derivative. This can increase the sizes of losses and gains, causing the value of your investment to fluctuate. When using derivatives, the Fund can lose significantly more than the amount it has invested in derivatives.
  • Changes in Interest Rates & Inflation Risk: Investments in bonds/money market securities are affected by interest rates and inflation trends which may negatively affect the value of the Fund.
  • Credit Ratings and Unrated Securities Risk: Bonds with a low credit rating or unrated bonds have a greater risk of default. These investments may negatively affect the value of the Fund.
  • Credit Risk: The issuer of a security held by the Fund may not pay income or repay capital to the Fund when due.
  • Emerging Markets Risk: Emerging Markets have additional risks due to less-developed market practices.
  • Specific Share Class Hedging Risk: This share class uses techniques to try to reduce the effects of changes in the exchange rate between the share class currency and the currency of the underlying investments of the Fund. These techniques may not eliminate all currency risk. The hedging range for this share class is 99-101% of the Net Asset Value (NAV) of the share class.
  • CoCo's Risk: Contingent Convertible Securities (CoCo's) convert from debt to equity when the issuer's capital drops below a pre-defined level. This may result in the security converting into equities at a discounted share price, the value of the security being written down, temporarily or permanently, and/or coupon payments ceasing or being deferred.
  • Counterparty Risk: The insolvency of any institutions providing services such as custody of assets or acting as a counterparty to derivatives or other contractual arrangements, may expose the Fund to financial loss.
  • Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Investment Approach Risk: The Fund follows an ESG investment approach. This means factors other than financial performance are considered as part of the investment process. This carries the risk that the Fund's performance may be negatively impacted due to restrictions placed on its exposure to certain sectors or types of investments. The approach taken may not reflect the opinions of any particular investor. In addition, in following an ESG investment approach, the Fund is dependent upon information and data from third parties (which may include providers for research reports, screenings, ratings and/or analysis such as index providers and consultants). Such information or data may be incomplete, inaccurate or inconsistent.
  • Subordinated Debt Risk: Subordinated Debt carries a greater level of risk compared to unsubordinated debt because it receives a lower priority level in terms of its claims on a company's assets in the case of the borrower's default.

A complete description of risk factors is set out in the Prospectus in the section entitled "Risk Factors".
