Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which aims to provide some outperformance (before deduction of the Fund’s fees and expenses) of the return of the Bloomberg Custom European Government Bond Index – GBP Hedged, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index).

The Fund has an enhanced index strategy which differs from a pure-index tracking strategy. Although both strategies invest in a similar range of fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), enhanced index strategies aim to take overweight and/or underweight positions relative to the Index in order to achieve some outperformance of the Index (before deduction of the Fund’s fees and expenses).

The Fund invests in the FI securities that predominantly make up the Index and instruments related to such FI securities, including financial derivative instruments (FDI) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). The Index predominantly comprises fixed rate government bonds of certain developed market countries in Europe and will have a credit rating which reflects that of the public authority which issued them.

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.

Credit risk, changes to interest rates and/or issuer defaults will have a significant impact on the performance of fixed income securities. Potential or actual credit rating downgrades may increase the level of risk.
