Fund Objective

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets). The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in fixed income securities (such as bonds) and money market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities) which are issued by companies. The fixed income securities and money-market instruments may also be issued by governments, government agencies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development).
