Objective The Fund aims to outperform (after deduction of costs) the ICE BofA Sterling Non-Gilt Index by 0.75% per annum over rolling three-year periods. Policy The Fund will invest at least 80% in investment grade bonds issued by corporate issuers, public bodies and supranationals. The Fund may also invest in other bonds including sub-investment grade bonds and government bonds. The bonds in which the Fund invests will be denominated in sterling or denominated in other currencies and hedged back to sterling. Currency forwards and derivatives, which are types of financial contracts, are used for both investment purposes and in the management of risk. The Fund will be actively managed and is not constrained by the index. Other Information Investment grade bonds are a type of investment which can be issued by governments, companies and other organisations when they want to borrow money. The issuer of the bond owes the holder a debt. The issuer is obliged to pay interest and/or repay the debt at a later date. You can sell some or all of your shares on any business day in the United Kingdom by contacting our Dealing Department by phone or post. Where properly completed documentation is received by post, shares will be sold at the next valuation point following receipt of the instruction. Income will be re-invested. No further shares will be purchased but the reinvestment will be reflected in the price of your existing accumulation shares. You are, however, deemed to have received the income for tax purposes. More than 35% in value of the property of this Fund may be invested in Government and Public Securities ("GAPS"). For further explanation and information see the investment objective and policy section of the Prospectus, which is available by contacting us. Recommendation: this Fund may not be appropriate for investors who plan to withdraw their money within three years.
