Following a recent Morningstar Analyst Ratings meeting, we have upgraded the Morningstar Analyst Rating™ for Schroder ISF Euro Corporate Bond fund to Bronze. The fund previously held a Morningstar Analyst Rating of Neutral. The credit team at Schroders was part of a large reorganisation in 2012, which introduced changes at the portfolio manager level and within the analyst team. Experienced credit portfolio manager Patrick Vogel joined as Head of European Credit and fund manager for the strategy. On the leadership front, he is joined by Head of UK Credit, Alix Stewart and Head of Euro High Yield, Konstatin Leidman. Vogel changed the investment process to a themes-based approach, with increased involvement of the credit analysts. Since the changes took place, the analyst headcount has also increased, which we believe to be positive and key to the new investment style. The robustness of the process and value-adding credit research capability have resulted in a significant improvement in performance over the past three years.
