Overview

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund aims to provide a total return (from a combination of capital growth and income) by investing a minimum of 70% of its assets in investment grade corporate bonds globally. The Fund may invest up to 25% in government bonds and up to 25% in high yield (non-investment grade) bonds, as well as cash, money market instruments and other eligible investments which are disclosed in the Prospectus. The Fund may use derivatives (complex financial instruments) with the aim of risk or cost reduction within the portfolio, including the hedging of currency exposure at the discretion of the investment manager. Derivatives may also be used to generate additional returns or income for the Fund.

Note: You should not make investment decisions based solely on marketing materials. You should read the Prospectus and the Product Highlights Sheet of the Fund for more details of the investment risks and seek independent professional advice where appropriate.
