Morningstar's Take

by Evangelia Gkeka


Jupiter Dynamic Bond benefits from the experience of its lead portfolio manager, continuity in the execution of its flexible investment process, and strong absolute and risk-adjusted returns since inception. Under our enhanced ratings framework, which places a greater focus on fees and benchmark-relative performance, the Morningstar Analyst Rating for the strategy’s clean share class (D EUR) remains Silver. Some share classes are rated Gold, while more expensive ones are rated Bronze and Neutral.Veteran portfolio manager Ariel Bezalel has been at the helm here since inception in 2012 but has run the UK-domiciled mirror since launch in 2008. He has skilfully used the flexibility afforded to him by the investment process. Bezalel, head of fixed income at Jupiter, boasts more than two decades of portfolio management experience; before bringing this strategy to market, he successfully managed the fixed-income portion of multi-asset mandates at Jupiter. In a bid to formalise the team structure and provide guidance on continuity, analysts Harry Richards and Vikram Aggarwal were promoted to assistant fund managers in 2016 and 2017, respectively. As of June 2019, Richards has been further promoted to fund manager. Bezalel is supported by a team of 14 sector-focused analysts (including three portfolio managers who also have sector coverage or provide ideas) that has grown over the years along with the level of assets for the strategy, which currently stand at GBP 11.6 billion.Idea generation greatly benefits from the flexible investment process and focused team. Investment decisions are debated and decided upon on the desk. Bezalel uses third-party research to inform his macro views and establish the strategy’s top-down stance, which is implemented via analysts’ thoroughly researched single-name and sector recommendations.The portfolio is constructed with a barbell approach balancing the capital preservation features of high-quality government bonds and the income generation of high-yield debt (including subordinated financials). Bezalel’s active exposure and duration management and opportunistic exposure to select emerging markets have added value over the years. The multiple return drivers employed by the manager have resulted in strong absolut and risk-adjusted returns since inception.
