INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
The Fund aims to provide an income with the potential for capital growth over the long term.
Performance target: To outperform the FTSE Actuaries UK Conventional Gilts greater than 15 years to maturity Index by 0.75% per annum, before the deduction of charges, over any 5 year period.
More
The Fund invests at least 80% of its assets in UK government bonds (also known as gilts), typically with maturities of 15 years or more. (Longer dated bonds are generally more sensitive to changes in interest rates and may at times exhibit significant volatility.)
The Fund may also hold other assets including bonds of other types from any issuer, Collective Investment Schemes (including those managed by Janus Henderson), cash and money market instruments.
The investment manager may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) 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 FTSE Actuaries UK Conventional Gilts greater than 15 years to maturity Index, which is broadly representative of the bonds in which it may invest, as this forms the basis of the Fund's performance target. The investment manager has discretion to choose investments for the Fund with weightings different to the index or not in the index.
As an additional means of assessing the performance of the Fund, the IA UK Gilt sector average, which is based on a peer group of broadly similar funds, may also provide a useful comparator.
Less
The value of an investment and the income from it can fall as well as rise as a result of market and currency fluctuations and you may not get back the amount originally invested.
Potential investors must read the prospectus, and where relevant, the key investor information document before investing.
