Asset classes

We believe that there are compelling reasons to invest in this asset class. Convertibles have historically offered superior risk-adjusted returns and are one of the few asset classes that can benefit from higher volatility. With a long-only portfolio, a hedge fund and our newly launched absolute return fund which is designed to position itself in between our two existing strategies, we now aim to meet the needs of every convertibles investor.

Aviva Investors has managed convertible bond funds since January 2000. Our convertible bond team, which consists of two fund managers and a client portfolio manager based in Boston and London respectively, leverages Aviva Investors substantial asset management infrastructure. The team now manages in excess of $2.5 billion (as at 31 December 2009).

The team’s flagship fund, the Aviva Investors Global Convertibles Fund, was launched in April 2002 and holds assets in excess of $1942.26 million (as at 28 February 2010).
