ZKB as a pioneer
We launched one of the first CoCo funds. With the hybrid fund launched in 2021, we are building on this success and opening up another attractive asset class for you.
High Income: Focus on higher potential returns
With High Income, you invest in bonds that promise above-average returns. For example, in CoCo and corporate hybrid bonds, high-yield bonds, high-yield emerging market bonds or diversified portfolios that combine these asset classes.
This is what sets our High Income products apart
Our investment philosophy
Our years of experience in the respective asset classes as well as a clearly structured investment process are crucial for our High Income strategies. The portfolio managers of our asset manager, Zürcher Kantonalbank, develop their own ideas, understand the risks and can control them.
Our selection for institutional investors
We offer you a wide range of actively managed High Income solutions in these asset classes:
- contingent convertible bonds (CoCo bonds)
- high-yield bonds rated BB+ or below (sub-investment grade)
- subordinated bonds from solid and globally active companies (corporate hybrids)
- emerging market bonds in local or hard currencies with high return potential
- Solutions with strategic allocation across all segments: High Income Credit Opportunities or Absolute Return
How we find the optimal bonds for you
