The objective of the Fund is to achieve capital growth delivering average annual investment returns (total returns, net of fees) of at least RPI + 3.0% over the long term (which is defined as a five to seven year investment cycle). Capital invested in the Fund is at risk. The Fund will be actively managed and in normal market conditions, at least 70% of the assets of the Fund will be invested in a mixture of shares and fixed income securities (including government and corporate bonds). The allocation to shares and fixed income securities will vary in response to market conditions. However, at least 65% of the assets of the Fund will typically be invested in shares. Such exposure may be achieved directly or indirectly via collective investment schemes managed by third party managers.
