East Asia Alliance launches a global high-quality bond fund for distribution in Hong Kong next Tuesday

Recently, East Asia Alliance announced that the "East Asia Alliance Global High-Quality Bond Fund" will be officially distributed in Hong Kong on September 10th, with the initial public offering period from August 26th to September 10th. The fund aims to provide investors with a high-quality bond strategy with low volatility and low risk to withstand potential market fluctuations, while offering attractive income potential. The fund mainly invests in U.S. Treasury bonds and investment-grade bonds denominated in U.S. dollars, covering mature markets such as the United States, Europe, Japan, and Australia, involving various industries including banking, finance, industry, as well as technology, media, and information. The portfolio has high credit quality, low risk, and defensive characteristics, with an average credit rating of A. Since the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates multiple times in 2022, short-term bond yields have risen, especially the yields of bonds with maturities of less than 2 years are most attractive. Currently, the average bond maturity of the simulated portfolio is less than 1 year to capture the higher returns of short-term bonds. Zeng Qianwen, Chief Investment Officer of the Fixed Income Investment Department at East Asia Alliance, stated that the trend of easing inflation continues, and although there are signs of economic slowdown in the United States, overall it remains resilient. Interest rates are expected to remain at relatively high levels for a period of time until inflation decreases to the target level, so it is believed that short-term bond yields will remain attractive
