The trust was established by Neuberger Berman Australia Pty Ltd which is acting as the Manager of the Trust. The Trust is providing investors with exposure to the high yield bonds of large and liquid companies globally which the Manager believes may be an attractive investment solution for investors seeking stable and consistent income and diversification.
The investment objective of the Trust is to provide its Unitholders with a consistent and stable income stream paid through monthly distributions, while achieving an attractive level of total return (income plus capital appreciation) over a full market cycle.
By providing exposure to global high yield corporate bond markets, the Trust can provide diversification benefits to a domestically-biased portfolio containing assets such as Australian equities, property and traditional fixed income, and improve the risk/return profile of an investorâs investment portfolio.
The Manager of the trust aims to deliver a stable and consistent income stream, which, for the financial year ending 30 June 2019, is currently targeted at 5.25% per annum on the subscription price paid by investors under the IPO of the Trust, paid monthly, and is targeted to remain at the same rate for the financial year commencing 1 July 2019.
Basics of Bonds
A bond is a debt security which follows the same principle as a loan where the investor âlendsâ a principal amount to the borrower in exchange for interest payments and, generally, at maturity the repayment of the principal amount. The fixed interest payment on the bond is known as the coupon. The yield is, basically, the income return, which is usually expressed as an annual percentage rate based on the bondâs purchase price, current market price or face value.
NBIâs Shares are trading at $2.050, down by 0.966% as on 14 May 2019 (AEST: 3:10 PM).
