Best Fund Provider – Global Bond – Intermediate to Long Term

Richard Woolnough

Fund Manager

“We are honoured to receive the Best Fund Provider – Global Bond – Intermediate to Long Term award from Asian Private Banker. This recognition is a testament to our unwavering commitment to excellence and our ambition to consistently deliver value to our clients.

“The past few years have tested bond investors with significant uncertainty and volatility. In this complex environment, flexibility and strategic thinking are crucial to managing risks and seizing opportunities. Our fund’s adaptable investment approach has enabled us to capitalise on attractive risk-return opportunities, contributing to strong long-term performance.

“Thank you to our clients and Asian Private Banker for your trust and support. We look forward to building on this success together in the evolving investment landscape.”

“While many global bond funds may bill themselves as flexible, the M&G (Lux) Optimal Income Fund is one of the few such solutions that can invest anywhere from 0 to 100% across a spectrum of fixed income assets including government debt, investment grade credit, and high-yield corporate bonds,” said Daniel Shane, editor of Asian Private Banker and head of the Judging Panel for the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025.

“That flexibility has served U/HNW clientele in Asia Pacific well, generating attractive risk-adjusted returns over several key timeframes. Specific examples of the M&G (Lux) Optimal Income Fund’s portfolio managers using this flexibility to their advantage include moves to significantly shorten duration in 2021; substantially lengthening overall duration in 2023; and moving to an overweight credit risk position in 2022 at a time when credit spreads were widening.

“It is with great pleasure that Asian Private Banker has awarded M&G Investments with the highly acclaimed prize of Best Fund Provider – Global Bond – Intermediate to Long-term at the Asset Management Awards for Excellence 2025. We would like to congratulate everyone at M&G Investments on this thoroughly deserved success.”
