Fund Objective

The objective of the fund is to provide a combination of income and capital growth. The Manager will aim to identify a combination of investments that are expected to produce high income (relative to that generally available from the investments permitted), together with the potential for capital growth. The fund invests in a broad range of UK and overseas company shares, bonds (a type of loan which pays interest), cash and other assets including those whose return is linked to commodities and property. The fund will invest between 20% and 60% in company shares. Usually the fund will invest in these assets through other authorised investment funds, including index-tracking or actively managed funds from Legal & General. However, it may also invest directly in company shares, bonds, cash or cash like investments, as well as other funds. At times the fund could hold up to 100% in other funds; or up to 100% directly in the assets. The bonds that the fund invests in may be investment grade (rated as lower risk); or sub-investment grade (rated as higher risk). Investment and sub-investment grade bonds are bonds that have been given a credit rating by a rating agency. Credit ratings give an indication of how likely it is that the issuer of a bond will be able to pay back interest and the loan on time.||The bonds that the fund invests in may be issued by companies or governments. The fund may use derivatives (contracts which have a value linked to the price of another asset) to:reduce risk or cost; or generate additional capital or income with no, or an acceptably low, level of risk. This fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within five years.
