Fund Objective

The Fund aims to provide an income with the potential for capital growth over the long term. Performance target: To outperform the FTSE Actuaries UK Index-Linked Gilts greater than 5 years to maturity Index by 0.75% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in UK index-linked government bonds (also known as index-linked gilts) of any maturity. (Index-linked bonds pay interest which increases in line with inflation, while their capital values are not directly related to inflation and may fall in value.) The investment manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) with the aim of making investment gains in line with the Fund’s objective, to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently. The Fund is actively managed with reference to the FTSE Actuaries UK Index-Linked Gilts greater than 5 years to maturity Index, which is broadly representative of the bonds in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Fund’s performance target. The investment manager has discretion to choose investments for the Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index. As an additional means of assessing the performance of the Fund, the IA UK Index Linked Gilts sector average, which is based on a peer group of broadly similar funds, may also provide a useful comparator.
