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 high income paying Euro or British Pound bonds (which are similar to a loan and pay a fixed or variable interest rate) issued by companies in Europe or companies that have significant operations there.High income paying bonds are bonds that have received lower ratings from international agencies that provide such ratings. These bonds are considered riskier than higher rated bonds but typically pay a higher 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.
