Barings Corporate Investors: ‘The Real Deal’ Top Income Fund For Over 50 Years
Wednesday Jun 14 2023 at 13:17
What is in Barings Corporate Investors’s “special sauce” that has made it the #1 high-yield bond fund for years, with total returns that even beat the S&P 500? One key ingredient is MCI’s close relationship with private equity sponsors, and its access to lucrative private credit deals that have boosted annual total returns to 12% over 50 years. Having started operations before there was a High-Yield bond market, MCI has been doing “private credit” for decades, long before the mainstream investment media discovered it.
