Beware of complacency
during this late-cycle
phase: conditions are
evolving.
Focus on robust
portfolio construction –
be clear on what assets
are growth vs defensive.
High Grade Bonds can
play a strong role in
defending your portfolio
over different conditions:
few other assets can
consistently do this.
Understand what you

Aspect CC JCB Active Bond Fund (APIR CHN0005AU) and JCB Active Bond Master Strategy
Benchmark ◼ Bloomberg AusBond Treasury 0+ Year Index
Objective ◼ To outperform the Bloomberg AusBond Treasury 0+ Year Index over rolling 3 year periods
Instruments ◼ Australian Commonwealth Government Bonds, e.g. CGS
◼ Semi-Government Bonds, e.g. Treasury Corp Victoria (TCV)
◼ Supranational Bonds, e.g. World Bank, Inter American Development Bank – indicative standard
◼ Interest Rate Futures – for hedging purposes, e.g. 3, 10, 20yr bond futures
◼ Cash: JCB prefers to remain invested in bonds over cash due to the credit risk in holding cash >A$250,000
Typical # of holdings ◼ ~15-25 securities of various maturities
Constraints Individual security holdings:
- Will not usually exceed 20%
- Must have AAA (or AA minimum rating) from either Moodys or Standard and Poor’s
- Must be issued in AUD
- Must be explicitly backed by a Government or Public Finance Agency
Duration target ◼ Maintain index position with duration movement ±3 years
Portfolio management ◼ JCB’s Investments Team use both domestic and global macro-economic factors to adjust duration and risk exposures to generate
excess return and maximise outcomes for our clients.
◼ Futures positions and curve trades will be used to adjust duration (using technical analysis)
◼ Supply dynamics and global curves play a significant role in determining portfolio duration exposures and have a material impact
on the shape of the AUD term structure
