Fund Objective

The aim of the Fund is to provide income with the potential to grow the amount you invested.The Fund invests at least two-thirds of its assets in higher rated bonds (which are similar to a loan and pay a fixed or variable interest rate) priced in Euro and issued by companies in Europe or companies that have significant operations there.Higher rated bonds, as defined by international agencies that provide such ratings, are considered safer than lower rated bonds but typically pay a lower income.Where the Fund invests in bonds that are not priced in Euro, the Fund may take measures that aim to mitigate the risk of currency movements against the Euro.The Fund may also invest in asset classes and instruments different from those stated above.
