and conviction-based approach
Access to a wide range of performance drivers
Carmignac Portfolio Global Bond disposes of a broad and diversified investment universe and seeks
to identify opportunities across the globe. This allows the Fund manager to unearth and implement
the best interest rate, credit and currency strategies in both developed and emerging markets.

complemented by a large degree of latitude on various segments. Thanks to the relatively unconstrained
process, the Fund is able to invest in selective pockets of value to generate performance in both bull and
bear fixed income markets.
