Fund Objective

The Fund aims to provide a return, from a combination of income and capital growth over the long term. Performance target: To outperform the 50% FTSE All Share + 50% ICE Bank of America ML Sterling Non Gilt Index by 1.5% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period. The Fund invests in shares (also known as equities) and bonds of governments, companies or any other type of issuer, in any country. At all times the investment in equities will be limited to a maximum of 60% of the value of the Fund’s portfolio and the Fund will normally have a strong bias towards UK companies and bonds. Companies and bond issuers may be of any size, in any industry. At all times the Fund will be limited to a maximum of 60% in company shares. The Fund is actively managed with reference to the 50% FTSE All Share + 50% ICE Bank of America ML Sterling Non Gilt Index, which is broadly representative of the securities in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Fund’s performance target. The investment manager has a high degree of freedom to choose individual investments for the Fund. As an additional means of assessing the performance of the Fund, the IA Mixed Investment 20–60% Shares sector average, which is based on a peer group of broadly similar funds, may also provide a useful comparator.
