Fund Objective

The Fund aims to provide a high income. Performance target: To outperform the IA Sterling Strategic Bond sector average, after the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period. The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in a global portfolio of bonds of any quality, including high yield (non-investment grade) bonds, issued by governments, companies or any other type of issuer. Where investments are made in assets in currencies other than Sterling, the Fund will seek to hedge at least 80% of those assets back to Sterling to largely remove the risk of currency exchange rate movements. In certain market conditions, the Fund may invest more than 35% of its assets in government bonds issued by any one body. The investment manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments), including total return swaps, with the aim of making investment gains in line with the Fund’s objective, to reduce risk or to manage the Fund more efficiently. The Fund is actively managed with reference to the IA Sterling Strategic Bond sector average, which is based on a peer group of broadly similar funds, as this forms the basis of the Fund’s performance target. The investment manager has complete freedom to choose individual investments for the Fund and to vary allocations between different types of bonds.
