Following The Adviser Centre Monthly Review Meeting on 26^th June 2019, Jupiter Strategic Bond fund has been added as a Recommended fund.

Jupiter Strategic Bond is managed by Ariel Bezalel, Head of Strategy, Fixed Income, at Jupiter Asset Management.  Mr Bezalel joined Jupiter in 1997 and, prior to the launch of this fund in 2008, he managed the fixed income portions of the multi-asset mandates at the firm.

Philosophically, the manager believes that a flexible, unconstrained mandate is important as it allows him to adjust positioning according to his identification of the most attractive risk-adjusted opportunities, according to his assessment of top-down factors and value in global bond markets.  Equally, he operates with a strong awareness of drawdown risk and, as a result, he is willing to take a cautious stance when he has less conviction in market direction.

We regard this fund as an attractive offering for investors who are seeking a thoughtfully managed, flexible fixed income fund, where all aspects of the fixed income opportunity set are considered.
