Belt & Road : a sustainable and powerful initiative

What is the “Belt and Road” initiative?The “Belt and Road” initiative is a systemic initiative and significant development strategy launched by the Chinese government to promote the land and sea connectivity along Asia, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (“the Belt and Road Region”), establishing and strengthening economic partnerships and cooperation along these regions1.

“ The Belt and Road initiative is set to reinvigorate the seamless flow of capital, good and services between Asia and the rest of the world”

Why “Belt and Road” bonds? • Large market size: over US$1 trillion international bonds issued along “Belt and Road”3 enable active managers a rich universe

to capture potential excess return.• Strong financial commitments by Chinese institutions: Belt and Road has already fetched more than US$600 billion from major

Chinese institutions4. We expect China to invest US$150-200 billion annually in the B&R countries for the foreseeable future. • Attractive total return potential: economic improvement tends to benefit both government and corporate bond issuers along

“Belt and Road”, leading investors to find higher interest income and capital gains from selective bonds.• First mover advantage: early investors have priority to capture investment opportunities arising from this significant initiative.

Invesco Belt and Road Bond Fund : diversified exposure to potential income and growth

Attractive yield opportunities • The Fund will primarily invest in sovereign bonds, quasi-sovereign bonds, investment grade and high yield corporate bonds

denominated in major currencies such as USD, EUR, GBP and CNH from Asia, Africa, Middle East and Europe5 (Chart 1). • Allocate between investment grade debt securities and high yield bonds.

1

Total return investment style• Dynamic interest rate hedging aims to minimize the negative impacts of rising interest rates.• Benchmark unconstrained.• Active country allocations (Chart 2).

3

Capital growth potential • Selection of bonds whose issuers could benefit from the “Belt and Road” initiative.• To ensure successful new bond issuances, issuers are usually willing to pay new issue premiums (in general, they issue

bonds with higher yields compared to bonds with similar maturities, credit ratings and industries in the secondary market). The new issue premiums may lead to capital gain potential.
