Flossbach von Storch -

Bond Defensive

Flossbach von Storch - Bond Defensive invests with moderate maturities in a carefully selected investment universe of global government bonds, mortgage bonds and investment-grade corporate bonds. In addition to the attractive current income, our risk/return-oriented management enables additional performance potential.

The investment strategy

The Flossbach von Storch - Bond Defensive investment fund is a global bond fund. It fulfils the role of a defensive component in a portfolio. The focus is on absolute return, i.e. positive performance over time. The primary objectives are predictable returns and avoiding excessive setbacks in turbulent market phases.

Our commercially oriented investment strategy helps us to achieve this goal. We only invest when we can assess all possible risks – and the opportunities outweigh them.
