The aim of this Fund is to generate an income return combined with any capital growth. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade corporate bonds issued in the UK and overseas. The Fund invests in sterling-denominated bonds and non-sterling-denominated bonds, hedged back into sterling. The ACD seeks to reduce the effect of credit risk through its analysis and selection of bonds (with a particular emphasis on industry and issuer) and also positions the Fund to take advantage of the ACD’s expectation of interest rate movements.
