Category and Market Context

Diversified Credit funds invest in Australian and/or global credit securities and typically focus on credit selection with the aim of delivering higher returns than government bonds. The average credit quality in the category is typically BBB or above, and these funds can also hold sub-investment grade or unrated issues.

Key Risks and Considerations

Credit funds are exposed to interest rate movements, changes in credit spreads and the creditworthiness of the underlying issuers. Gearing adds to this, because borrowing increases exposure beyond the capital invested. Because the fund holds units in other ETFs rather than individual bonds, its outcomes also depend on how those underlying funds perform.
