Questions

Before you decide.

Is income paid every month?

Coupon income is distributed monthly. Coupon income varies from month to month. Depending on the portfolio’s holdings, some months may have no coupon payments.

Is the 5%–6% indicative yield guaranteed?

No. Approx. 5%–6% per annum is an indicative gross yield to maturity as at 20 August 2026, before fees and applicable withholding tax, which reduce returns. Yield is not guaranteed. Yield to maturity (YTM) is the estimated annual return on a bond based on its current market price, assuming it is held to maturity, and interest payments are reinvested at the same yield. Indicative yields are not guaranteed and change with market conditions.

What fees apply?

Management, administration and dealing fees apply. No entry fees apply and no exit fee applies if the portfolio is liquidated. The first 12 months’ Administration Fee is waived for new client accounts only, and this limited offer expires on 31 December 2026. Full fees and terms are set out in the brochure.

Can I see the bonds held in my portfolio?

Yes. The portfolio is held in a C&P Nominee account. You can see the actual bonds held through Curmi Digital Wealth and receive quarterly reporting.

What if I already own local bonds?

We review your existing holdings as part of the portfolio review and discuss what may or may not be appropriate to move, as part of the suitability assessment.

What are the key risks?

Capital is at risk. The portfolio is subject to liquidity, interest-rate and issuer default risks. The value of investments and the income from them may fall as well as rise, and you may get back less than you invested. Indicative yields are not guaranteed and change with market conditions. Income distributions may vary. Fees and charges apply and will reduce returns.

How do I know whether the strategy is suitable for me?

Suitability is subject to assessment. In a personal portfolio review we look at your objectives, existing investments and the cash you have available, explain the strategy and assess whether it may be suitable for you.
