Robeco announced the launch of Robeco Global Multi-Factor Credits, a new multi-factor credit fund. With Robeco Global Multi-Factor Credits, factor investing is brought to credit markets, allowing investors to benefit from similar factors to those that have proven successful in equity markets including low-risk, value and momentum. Robeco Global Multi-Factor Credits offers a diversified and balanced exposure to investment grade corporate bonds that score well on these factors, and will have 150-200 names in the portfolio.

The fund aims to generate higher returns with a market-like risk profile. Although the fund mainly invests in investment grade credits, it can hold a maximum of 10% in BB to benefit from the attractive characteristics of fallen angels and rising stars. Robeco Global Multi-Factor Credits is targeted at experienced investors looking for style-diversification in a balanced portfolio.

The fund will be managed by Robeco's Credit Team.
