The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a total return over the medium term, which should be considered as a period of 3-5 years, by investing predominantly in sterling-denominated corporate bonds. At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in investment grade corporate bonds and in index linked corporate bonds, securitisations, supranational bonds, agency bonds, floating-rate notes and asset-backed securities, each denominated in sterling or hedged back to sterling. These investments will generally be fixed-rate issues (bonds paying interest at an unchanging rate, rather than on an adjustable basis).
