KDP's Defensive High Yield strategy over the past 21 years has sought to provide a high level of current income, with a strong emphasis on principal preservation, by investing in better-quality US Dollar denominated high yield bonds and employing an investment approach focusing on fundamental analysis and active risk management. This strategy seeks to invest in companies, sectors and levels of the corporate debt structure where our analysts and investment managers see relative value and that the portfolio is being compensated sufficiently for the level of risk undertaken.
