Robus German Credit Opportunities Fund surpasses the 100 Million-Euro-Mark

Frankfurt, February 09, 2015. Fixed income strategies that provide uncorrelated and constant yield income are in demand in current capital markets. This is how the fund size for the Robus German Credit Opportunities Fund, managed by investment boutique Robus Capital, has been able to more than quintuple since its launch almost three years ago. The Robus German Credit Opportunities Fund was established as a Luxembourg Special Fund (SICAF-SIF) and is only accessible to qualified investors and semi-professional investors. In November 2013, however, Robus also launched the Robus Mid-Market Value Bond Fund (UCITS IV) in collaboration with Hauck & Aufhäuser. This mutual fund is managed using the same investment strategy as well as regional- and company focus as the Robus German Credit Opportunities Fund, but invests exclusively in listed bonds.
