Cathay SITE Launches Global Strategic Income Bond Fund With MRM Model

Heightened uncertainty over global interest rates and market volatility has increased demand for flexible bond portfolios that can shift across credit segments. Cathay Securities Investment Trust is launching the Cathay Global Strategic Income Bond Fund, which will invest across multiple countries in investment-grade bonds, high-yield debt and convertible bonds. The diversified mandate is designed to pursue income opportunities while managing risks across changing market conditions.

Cathay Securities Investment Trust said subscriptions for the new fund will remain open through June 18. The product will be the firm’s first to incorporate its proprietary MRM macro-cycle model, which assesses economic regimes and supports asset-allocation decisions. The framework will help the investment team adjust exposure among investment-grade credit, non-investment-grade bonds and convertible securities as economic and financial-market conditions evolve.
