Allianz Investment Solutions launches 3 new investment funds

Allianz Investment Solutions, the securities agency of the Allianz Group, has announced the market launch and start of marketing of three new investment funds, adding to its portfolio to complete the current fund offering. The aim of these new solutions is to better adapt to the market and offer a wider range to meet clients’ current needs.

Specifically, this new launch includes three new funds from PIMCO, the world’s leading active fixed income manager with more than 3,400 employees, 50 years of experience and more than $1.8 trillion of assets under management. The funds, which launched on 12 June, are as follows:

• PIMCO Diversified Income: invests in three fixed income (FA) asset classes in equal proportions: Investment Grade FA, High Yield FA and Emerging Market FA. The investment objective is to offer clients access to global credit opportunities, focusing on the search for attractive risk-adjusted returns and identifying value propositions across market cycles.
• PIMCO Low Duration Income: has as its investment objective to preserve investors’ capital and seek to achieve stable returns over the medium to long term. It does this through coupons received from the purchase of low duration, high quality global fixed income securities and instruments. It is a flexible and conservatively managed strategy that seeks attractive returns across sectors, regions and different interest rate environments.
• PIMCO Dynamic Bond: is an actively managed, flexible global fixed income fund, which aims to preserve the investor’s capital and maximise the return on its investments in corporate or sovereign bonds. The fund’s performance will be driven by medium duration bonds, with the ability to invest in high yielding assets and different currencies with a dynamic and flexible approach.

Allianz Investment Solutions also manages six pension plans with a volume of around €300 million. Between pension plans and investment funds, the assets managed by Allianz Investment Solutions currently exceed €500 million.

Of the five funds that Allianz Investment Solutions began processing in March 2020, four of them were rated by Morningstar with five stars in their first three years of activity. Among the financial products that were rated with five stars by Morningstar are the Allianz Cartera Dinámica (50%-100% equities), a profiled fund with a cumulative return of 34.45%, and the Allianz Bolsa Española with a cumulative return of 33.32%. Alongside these two products, Allianz Cartera Moderada (15%-30% equities) and Allianz Cartera Decidida (30%-50% equities) also obtained the highest scores in this ranking.

With the Allianz Investment Solutions products, Allianz Seguros offers its customers a complete portfolio of products with the aim of becoming a major player in the management of people’s savings. Thus, in addition to investment funds and pension plans, it offers unit-linked insurance, long-term savings products and funeral products.
