DNCA‘s expertise, rigor and sense of accountability have helped DNCA Finance rank among Europe’s top investment firms.

For 20 years, we have rigorously created and managed highly effective and internationally recognized investment strategies with a strong focus on minimizing risk.

Today’s increasingly volatile and complex economic and financial environment rules out passive investment solutions. That’s why we build portfolios which reflect our fund managers’ strong convictions and their in-depth grasp of companies and the world they operate in.

DNCA Invest Alpha Bonds aims to deliver a higher performance than the EONIA index plus 2,5%, with an annual volatility lower than 5%.

Sensitivity is actively managed between -3 and +7 to capture market performance and protect the fund against a rise in rates.

With a flexible allocation, an international investment universe and access to a wide range of fixed-income investment strategies, DNCA Invest Alpha Bonds offers investors a diversification solution for their bond investments.

The M&G Total Return Credit Investment fund with more than €10 billion in the strategy, is a fund that leans on the best ideas in the public multi-asset credit spectrum and allows the fund manager to generate return from credit risk and not duration or FX, whilst hedging the interest rate risk. The management of the fund is flexible and unconstrained by a benchmark.
