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

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.

Wide range of high-yield investment solutions

Our high-yield funds meet your needs: solutions across the entire spectrum, with reduced maturity risk or consistent hedging.

Combined expertise at a single location

With our concentration at our Zurich location, the funds benefit from the expertise of all Zürcher Kantonalbank portfolio managers, which is reflected in the positive performance.

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.
