HEAD-TO-HEAD: Axa vs Jupiter
FSA compares two emerging market fixed income funds: the Axa World Funds Emerging Markets Short Duration Bonds Fund and the JGF-Jupiter Global Emerging Markets Short Duration Bond Fund.
Conclusion
Both funds performed well during the market upturn last year and held up successfully during the difficult period for risk assets in the second half of 2018.
However, despite its relatively short history and small size, Cheung prefers the JGF-Jupiter Global Emerging Markets Short Duration Bond Fund over the Axa WF Emerging Markets Short Duration Bonds Fund.
“It is a better option for investors for three main reasons,” he said.
“It has a shorter duration, its superior performance in 2018 and 2019 demonstrated the strength and clarity of its manager, and the fund is more consistent and less volatile,” Cheung explained.
