La Française Rendement Global 2028 surpasses critical €200 million mark

Akram Gharbi, Head of High Yield Investment, La Française AM.

La Française is pleased to announce that its global high yield fixed maturity compartment, La Française Rendement Global 2028 (sub-compartment of French SICAV La Française), has surpassed €200 million in assets under management.

The fund is a diversified portfolio of approximately 150 global high yield issuers with an average rating of B+ and is co-managed by an experienced team of five, headed by Akram GHARBI, Head of High Yield Investment, La Française AM.

The track record of the management team, which includes Akram Gharbi, Delphine Cadroy, Gabriel Crabos, Aurore Le Crom and Victoire Dubrujeaud, is attracting attention among European professional investors. The fund’s strategy involves a combination of “buy & hold” and “arbitrage” in the event of new market opportunities or an increased default risk of one of the issuers in the portfolio. The investment strategy therefore relies on in-depth knowledge of selected companies' balance sheets and sovereign debt fundamentals. La Française Rendement Global 2028 (distinguished with the French SRI Label and classified Art. 8 SFDR) has a yield to worst of 8.27% (gross of fees and net of hedging costs).
