Investment process


Aims to outperform the sector and peer group through active management of mainly sterling denominated corporate bonds. Typical of Resolution's investment process, the fund is managed by a team using both top-down economic analysis and bottom-up bond selection, with no one style dominating. Additionally, the team is reactive to supply/demand factors driving the market, incorporating these into the portfolio.
The selection of individual issues is rigorous, with the managers looking to be convinced that a company can meet its future coupon payments. This is assessed through analysis of cost of capital and management, who should have a consistent approach to business strategy.

The value of your investments and the income from them can go down as well as up, and you can get back less than you originally invested. Past performance or any yields quoted should not be considered reliable indicators of future returns. Before investing in funds please check the specific risk factors on the key features document or refer to our risk warning notice as some funds can be high risk or complex; they may also have risks relating to the geographical area, industry sector and/or underlying assets in which they invest. Prevailing tax rates and relief are dependent on your individual circumstances and are subject to change.
