Fund Objective
The fund aims to provide income and capital growth. The fund invests mainly in bonds issued by the UK government across all maturities. The fund may also hold exposure to other government and non-government issuers. Government bonds can offer an alternative to equity markets, providing diversification in times of weaker risk appetite amongst investors. The fund will invest in bonds issued either in British pound or in another currency hedged back into British pound (to reduce or remove the risk of loss through currency movements). The fund may also invest in other financial instruments and hold cash on deposit. Derivatives may be used to achieve the investment objective and to reduce risk or manage the fund more efficiently. The fund may use leverage and take indirect short positions.
