The Fund aims to protect the value of capital and income from inflation by providing a total return (the combination of capital growth and income), net of the Ongoing Charge Figure, that is consistent with or higher than UK inflation (as measured by the UK Consumer Prices Index), over any three-year period. There is no guarantee that the Fund will achieve its objective over this, or any other, period. The income distributions and the value of your investment may rise and fall, and investors may not recoup the original amount they invested. At least 70% of the Fund is invested, directly or indirectly, in investment grade corporate debt securities (typically inflation-linked corporate bonds and floating rate notes), denominated in Sterling or hedged back to Sterling. These securities can be issued by companies from anywhere in the world, including Emerging Markets.
