Mandatum is expanding its UCITS fund portfolio by launching a new European High Yield Total Return Fund. The new fund complements the offering in the fixed income asset class.

Mandatum is launching a new fund, Mandatum European High Yield Total Return Fund, which will, as the name suggests, primarily invests in European high yield bonds. The fund's strategy also allows for flexible investments in other high yield sub-asset classes, depending on the market condition at any given point in time, enabling enhanced long-term risk-adjusted returns.

The new fund is actively managed by the same team that manages Mandatum's successful Nordic High Yield fund. The portfolio management team will hand-pick a select set of companies from the broader European investment universe based on its proven and comprehensive credit selection process. The strategy will not follow indices. The daily open liquid UCITS fund is available to all investors.

"The new Mandatum European High Yield fund is a natural continuation of Mandatum's fixed income and credit offering. We have nearly 20 years' experience of investing in the European high yield market, and now this expertise is being condensed into a fund product that will be offered to our clients, ranging from private investors to institutions in Finland, other Nordic countries and Central Europe," says Mandatum's Chief Investment Officer Juhani Lehtonen.

"Mandatum is an active investor with a flexible and opportunistic approach that carefully selects its credits, and we see plenty of interesting investment opportunities in the European market. The new fund will play an essential role in our clients' broadly diversified credit portfolio in addition to the rest of our offering," says Mandatum's Head of Leveraged Finance Alexander Gallotti.

Fixed income and credit investments offer attractive risk-return potential and are a valuable addition to a long-term investor's portfolio.
