Investment Objective
There is an available discretionary PMS that will invest in fixed-income assets. In the PMS, they seek to:
- Your whole investment is in debt.
- Provide a steady and reliable income
- Manage portfolios actively by combining trading and investment strategies.
Product Offering
- An offered PMS will invest in fixed-income securities.

Product Rationale
PPFs, debt mutual funds, and bank FDs are only a few investment alternatives available in the current fixed-income market. Each of these choices has advantages and disadvantages. For instance, bank FDs have lower returns despite the capital being insured. Mutual funds receive a tax benefit after three years of investment. Dynamically managing the methodology (time vs. credit) is not possible.
The PMS is an addition to the many investing options. The objective is to provide stable and consistent income through interest income. Periodically, AK Wealth will seize tactical opportunities to generate capital gains in addition to interest income.

Portfolio Statistics As on 31-Aug-2022
An amalgam of several investor portfolios makes up Credit Alpha. AK Wealth have included a list of the range of distinct portfolio criteria for various investor portfolios. Depending on a number of variables, including the timing of the investment, the availability of securities, market movements, etc., an investor’s portfolio holdings may vary.
Portfolio Yield to Maturity
It is based on the total cash flow generated by all of the assets held in the portfolio as of August 31, 2022. This yield, which is based on the purchase prices of all assets, shows the yield that was locked in for each portfolio when it was built at the time of activation. Since a portion of the portfolio may be actively managed to take advantage of arbitrage and tactical opportunities in the fixed-income market, portfolio YTMs may alter. Such tactical decisions can provide capital gains above and above the Portfolio YTM, boosting the returns on the entire portfolio.
Portfolio XIRR Since Inception
This is the real XIRR for all portfolios combined by Credit Alpha (calculated as the XIRR of all portfolio’s cash flows). The date of creation was 8 February 2019. For the period of 8th February 2019 to 31st August 2022, XIRR returns are computed. The XIRR results are both fee and tax-free.
Time Weighted Rate of Return
If necessary, the portfolio’s 1-year TWRR is 7.87% after deducting fees and expenditures.
Portfolio Average Credit Rating
Calculated as the portfolio’s weighted average credit rating for the securities it holds. Each portfolio has a mix of securities with ratings ranging from “AAA” to “A-.”
Portfolio Average Maturity
calculated using the portfolio’s weighted average maturity of the securities owned. Securities having a shorter maturity (1–4 years) are often purchased with the intention of holding them until they mature. This serves as the main source of accrual revenue for the portfolio. In order to take tactical positions in the fixed-income market, longer-tenor (> 4 years) assets are purchased from an active management perspective.
