Aegon Asset Management
Aegon Asset Management has launched its UK-domiciled Aegon Global Income Fund, designed to deliver an income stream alongside long-term capital appreciation.

The fund invests in a high-conviction portfolio of quality companies capable of growing their dividends sustainably over time. It concentrates on firms with strong cash flows, stable balance sheets, consistent earnings and well-covered dividends to support both income and capital growth.

Aiming to deliver an income equivalent of around 130 per cent of the income return of the MSCI ACWI Index over any seven-year period, the fund offers diversification from traditional high-growth or deep-value strategies.

The fund, which is managed by the same team behind the $1 billion Irish-domiciled Aegon Global Equity Income Fund, mirrors its proven investment approach. The team – Mark Peden, Douglas Scott, and Robin Black – draws on the insights of Aegon AM’s 23-strong equity research team, with the flexibility to invest across countries and sectors.

“The launch of the Aegon Global Income Fund is a direct response to client demand for a UK-domiciled version of our successful global equity income strategy,” Mark Peden, fund manager, said. “With global dividends reaching record highs for four consecutive years and the dividend universe expanding to include global tech giants and other non-traditional players, we believe this is a golden age for income investing and our disciplined, time-tested process is well-positioned to deliver both premium yield and long-term growth.”

Aegon Asset Management’s investment capabilities span public and private markets across fixed income, real assets, equities, and multi-asset platforms. Its 365 investment professionals serve a global client base of sophisticated investors, managing and advising on assets of $343 billion.
