Investment process

The Fund aims to provide long-term returns by compounding current income and any capital growth. For performance purposes, reference benchmarks are the IMA Corporate bond sector returns and the Merrill Lynch Non Gilt All Stocks Index.
Axa's credit analyst team is Paris based and organised on a global sector basis. The manager will draw on their expertise to potentially incorporate Euro and US Dollar denominated issues on a relative value basis. Currency exposure will be hedged back into sterling. The manager may also make use of financial derivatives to hedge out yield curve risk. Axa's investment philosophy does not emphasise any one source of return, but recognises that different factors have been dominant drivers of fixed income returns under different markets conditions. This may include managing credit risk, active duration management and exploiting spread differentials.

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.
