Formerly Man GLG High Yield Opportunities
This is an unconstrained, concentrated global high yield bond fund, driven by individual bond selection, but guided by top-down thematic ideas. Manager Mike Scott is ably supported by a team of internal credit analysts who conduct a rigorous analysis of every potential holding and ensure they can meet the fund’s income requirements.
Mike’s experience and the fund’s flexibility allows him to find opportunities others may miss or avoid.
Michael Scott
Mike Scott has over 15 years’ investment experience, beginning his career at Cazenove Capital Management in 2005. He moved to Schroders in 2006 where he initially spent four years as a European industrials credit analyst covering investment grade and high yield bonds, before stepping up to become the high yield portfolio manager on the Schroder High Yield Opportunities fund. Following his success, Mike joined Man GLG to launch this fund, adding the ability to short stocks into the fund’s remit. Mike is an Oxford University graduate and a CFA Charterholder.
Mike has demonstrated excellent stock-picking ability throughout his career. He has brought that talent into this fund, and also expanded his investment flexibility to being able to take short positions and thus potentially benefit from falling prices too. Mike’s experience, and the fund’s flexibility, allows him to find opportunities others may miss or avoid. The concentrated portfolio offers a different but attractive return profile to his competitors.
