The Fund aims to provide income with the prospect of some capital growth over the long term (5 years, or more). It also looks to outperform the iBoxx GBP Corporates 1-5 Index (the “Index”) over rolling 3-year periods, after the deduction of charges. The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least two-thirds of its assets in investment grade corporate bonds with an effective maturity of 5 years or less. The Fund may also invest in other bonds (including below investment grade corporate bonds, and government bonds) when considered appropriate to achieve its investment objective.
