Allspring Global Investments Launches Global Income UCITS Fund
LONDON, Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Allspring Global Investments (Allspring), a global asset management company with US$590 billion* under advisement, is delighted to announce the launch of the Allspring (Lux) Worldwide Fund – Global Income Fund, a UCITS addition to its existing 17-strong Luxembourg range.
Allspring is a leading provider of active fixed income solutions and is making this multi-sector fixed income fund available to meet increased demand for this strategy from investors across the UK, continental Europe and Asia.
The Allspring Global Income Fund will be managed by Janet Rilling, Noah Wise, Christopher Kauffman, Michael Schueller, Michal Stanczyk and Sarah Harrison. The team provides investors with deep sector expertise, with an average of 23 years of professional investment experience and US$25 billion under advisement.
The new fund is based on Allspring’s proven Income Plus strategy, previously available exclusively to institutional investors and as a US mutual fund.

The strategy is unconstrained in nature and has the flexibility to invest across government, securitised, investment grade, high yield and emerging market debt markets. This fund is designated as SFDR Article 8 and promotes environmental and/or social characteristics but does not have a sustainable investment objective.
The fund is registered for distribution in Luxembourg and UK and intends to be registered in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Hong Kong, Singapore and South Korea.
Andy Sowerby, head of the International Client Group at Allspring, commented, “This is a timely and important launch as we continue to broaden Allspring’s UCITS range to meet the needs of our global clients. We are a leading provider of fixed income solutions and see the creation of the Allspring Global Income Fund as being a flagship offering that can help our clients navigate the complex and fast-moving fixed income markets.”
Sarah Harrison, senior portfolio manager, said “We allocate strategically to a wide variety of fixed income securities, aiming to deliver alpha from security and sector allocation, as well as duration and curve positioning. This proven approach has delivered attractive levels of income and contributed to the long-term success of this strategy. We are excited to now bring this capability to the global market via the Allspring Global Income Fund”.
Noah Wise, senior portfolio manager at Allspring, added, “The addition of this fund to our range reflects the investor confidence in our expertise in global fixed income markets.
