JPM Global High Yield Bond Fund C - Gross Accumulation

Why we like the fund: This fund lends money to higher-risk companies and, in return, receives higher-than-average interest payments. JPMorgan is well placed to run this fund for a few reasons. Firstly, it has three very experienced fund managers that have worked together for a long time. Secondly, it is US-based and this is helpful because the majority of high yield companies are in the US. Thirdly, it has a strong team of analysts assessing the creditworthiness of borrowers. And finally, it has navigated some tough markets and added value. How to use the fund: This fund can be a helpful addition to many portfolios, including those that seek an income and those with capital growth ambitions. The lower quality nature of the companies it allocates to does result in a relatively high income (via interest repayments) from these loans, and investors that are willing to embrace risk to receive long-term returns may use this fund as a smaller risky allocation in a wider portfolio.
