SILEX RISK MANAGED

HORIZON 2028

A sub-fund of SILEX RISK MANAGED Luxembourg SICAV, approved by CSSF.
Sub-fund management delegated to SILEX Investment Managers (SUISSE) SA.
The rapid rise in interest rates and credit spreads brought us to elevated yield levels in quality segments of the bond market, creating a very attractive entry point. The level of economic uncertainty remains high and encourages a preference for non-cyclical sectors and BBB, BB bonds*.

A dated fund with SILEX is the easiest way to express these convictions for attractive returns while keeping default and duration risks low.

Foreign exchange risk: Fluctuations between the currency of denomination of the bond holdings and the base currency of the Fund may negatively affect the Fund’s performance.
