Nikko AM Shenton Income Fund

A Singapore-managed income fund investing mainly in Asian bonds and income assets.

Nikko AM Shenton Income Fund is a Singapore-available income fund from Nikko Asset Management Asia. The fund is designed for investors seeking regular income, with exposure that has historically centred on fixed income and income-producing securities. Nikko AM is a familiar name in Singapore through its unit trusts and ETFs, which helps with local accessibility and platform recognition. Compared with global multi-asset funds, this option may appeal to investors who prefer a more regionally grounded income product. Investors should still review credit quality, duration and distribution policy before assuming it is low risk.

THEBESTSG STAFF REVIEW

Nikko AM Shenton Income Fund feels like a practical Singapore shelf fund: accessible, recognisable and built around income rather than marketing novelty. Nikko AM's local presence is a plus for investors who prefer managers with a clear Singapore footprint. The fund stands out as a familiar option for those comparing Asian and Singapore-distributed income products. The limitation is that it may not have the same global diversification or brand pull as the largest international multi-asset funds, so it should be compared carefully on risk and fees.
