Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) over the medium term (3 consecutive years), which exceeds the Bank of England’s Base Interest Rate by 3.5% (gross of fees). Although the Fund aims to deliver this return over the medium term, there is no guarantee that this will be achieved over this time period, or any time period. The Fund’s capital is at risk. The Fund invests on a global basis at least 80% of its total assets in fixed income securities (such as bonds), money-market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities), equity securities (e.g. shares), funds, deposits and cash.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

The value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount is not guaranteed. Two main risks related to fixed income investing are interest rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to repay the principal and make interest payments.

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company
