It uses a broad range of fixed income securities including but not limited to government, inflation-linked and investment grade corporate bonds, high yield and emerging market debt.
Bruce Murphy, Director Australia and New Zealand, Insight Investment, said: “We’re pleased to see HUB24’s award winning platform offer advisers and licensees access to the Insight Global Absolute Return Bond Fund. It’s a further step in our strategy to bring Insight’s institutional quality strategies to Australian advisers.
