Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which reflects the return of the FTSE Government All Stocks Gilt Index, the Fund’s benchmark index. A gilt is a fixed income (FI) security such as a bond issued by the British Government.

The Fund will invest in the FI securities that predominantly make up the benchmark index (which comprises gilts).

The benchmark index measures the performance of all conventional (i.e. excluding index-linked) gilts with varying redemption dates (i.e. the date on which some, or all, of the principal amount and interest is repaid during the life of the bond) and maturities (i.e. the time until the bond becomes due for repayment).

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.

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
