The Philosophy
Ostrum SRI Credit Ultra Short Plus - Leverage the opportunities offered by ultra short-term corporate bonds through an SRI approach.
Reasons to invest
Bottom-up issuer selection is the main alpha driver. The investment team selects issuers based on proprietary credit research to identify the best investment opportunities. Resilience through the economic cycle and cashflow visibility are the key features for investment decisions.
Euro-denominated ultra-short-term bonds are the core of the portfolio. The investment team also targets non-euro-denominated bonds when arbitrage opportunities arise (currency risk hedged). The team also has the flexibility to invest in a broad universe, including money market securities, MTNs, etc. to uncover the best available risk-adjusted returns.
The strategy is compliant with both Article 8 SFDR and the French government’s SRI label. As such, it takes into consideration three main criteria when selecting securities: a lower carbon intensity, a better ESG rating, and stronger anti-corruption policies than the reference index. The team also integrates ESG into their investment decisions based on in-house proprietary research.

Important information
All investing involves risk, including the risk of loss. Investment risk exists with equity, fixed income, and alternative investments. There is no assurance that any investment will meet its performance objectives or that losses will be avoided. There could be other differences across similar products in the same strategy. Investors should fully understand the risks and other relevant details associated with any investment prior to investing.
