Mirabaud DM Fixed Maturity 2031
Put cash to work with a clearer path to 2031
Cash may provide certainty today, but not certainty over future reinvestment rates. Mirabaud DM Fixed Maturity 2031 is designed for investors seeking to secure attractive income over a defined time horizon, while retaining daily liquidity.
The strategy invests in a diversified portfolio of predominantly investment-grade, euro-denominated bonds, all with hard maturities in 2031. This provides a clear end date for capital planning and a duration profile that naturally shortens over time, helping to reduce sensitivity to interest-rate movements as maturity approaches.
What the strategy offers
Lock in income for longer
- Unlike cash or money market funds, a fixed maturity strategy seeks to secure bond yields over a longer period, reducing exposure to falling cash rates and reinvestment risk.
A clear destination
- Every bond in the portfolio has a hard maturity in 2031. This gives the strategy a defined end date and means its duration and interest-rate sensitivity should decline as it approaches maturity.
Diversification without the complexity
- The strategy provides access to a broad portfolio of bonds that may be difficult to replicate through individual holdings, with active credit monitoring and daily liquidity.
A simple, transparent structure
- The portfolio invests directly in bonds and avoids the complexity, embedded risks and path dependency that can accompany some structured solutions.
