AZ Fund 1 - AZ Bond - Negative Duration A-Institutional EUR C

The Sub-fund's investment objective is to achieve medium and long-term capital growth. The Sub-fund aims to achieve its investment objective by actively investing in a diversified portfolio of fixed and/or variable-income debt securities with an effective duration which is always zero or negative in order to protect the Sub-fund from an increase in the general level of risk-free rates. The Sub-fund uses a top-down investment approach focused on interest-rate macro-trends. Negative duration is achieved through short positions on futures on debt securities (e.g. Bund, Treasury and BTP italien).
