Evli Short Corporate Bond Fund is a short-maturity corporate bond fund that invests its assets primarily in euro-denominated bonds with a short remaining duration issued by European companies and banks, and in other interest-bearing investments. The investments will be made in bonds with both higher (investment grade) and lower (high yield) credit ratings. The investments’ average credit rating will be at least B- or a classification with a corresponding risk level, which means that the fund’s investments are subject to a substantial credit risk. The credit risk arising from individual issuers is reduced by diversifying the investments among dozens of different issuers. The average duration of the fund’s fixed income investments may be no more than 2.5 years, and for individual investments, no more than 5 years, which contributes to reducing the credit risk.
