Chances and risks
| Chances | Risks |
|---|---|
| Due to their lower credit rating, high-yield bonds generally offer higher yields than investment-grade bonds. | The fund is subject to general market risk. |
| This can lead to above-average current interest rates and total returns.Added value through active management and individual security analysis. | Issuers of high-yield bonds have lower credit ratings. There is therefore an increased risk that they will not be able to meet their interest or repayment obligations in full. |
| Unit value may fall below the purchase price at which the client acquired the unit | |
| No guarantee of success due to active and opportunistic management |
