Man Sterling Corporate Bond

Formerly Man GLG Sterling Corporate Bond

Introduction to the fund

This relatively new fund is managed by Jonathan Golan, one of the most exciting young bond managers around. The fund invests in bonds with a margin of safety which is achieved through rigorous credit analysis. The fund invests globally and finds many of its best ideas off the beaten path. Each bond in the portfolio has a self-help story which is typically uncorrelated to the wider economic picture. The fund favours small and medium bond issuers which may be less well understood. So far Jonathan Golan has continued his excellent performance at Schroders with this new fund. It is currently one of our favourites in the sector.

Fund manager

Jonathan Golan

Jonathan Golan joined Schroders in 2013. He delivered blockbuster performance on the Schroder Sterling Corporate Bond fund between February 2017 and March 2021, and the fund was ranked number one in its sector over his tenure. He enjoyed similar success on the Schroder Strategic Bond fund between July 2020 and March 2021. Jonathan joined Man GLG in July 2021 to launch this fund. He has a BA in economics from the Hebrew University and an MSc in Financial Economics from Oxford university.

Opinion on fund

Jonathan Golan is one of the most exciting young bond fund managers around today. He delivered exceptional performance running a similar fund whilst at Schroders and, so far, that performance has continued since the launch of this fund. It is a genuinely active fund, differentiated by the manager’s focus on smaller bond issuers and the team’s ability to find undervalued credits which have been overlooked by peers. Jonathan has been given the resources to build a dedicated team of analysts to undertake the intensive research required by this fund. They report to him directly. We have a high degree of confidence that he and his team can continue to outperform.
