Investment Objectives
The fundamental investment objective of Brandes Corporate Focus Bond Fund is to generate income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in U.S. dollar denominated corporate fixed income securities, including investment grade and non-investment grade fixed income securities. The Fund may also invest in non-U.S. dollar denominated fixed income securities.
Investment Strategy
Brandes LP is a Graham & Dodd value-oriented, global investment adviser that applies fundamental analysis to bottom-up fixed income security selection. Brandes LP believes that consistently buying fixed income securities at discounts to conservative estimates of their intrinsic value has the potential to produce competitive long-term results. Generally, a fixed income security will be bought when, in Brandes LP’s view, it is selling at a price below its worth.
