INVESCO STERLING BOND A - Fund overview

Bestinvest rating 3 stars


Overview of INVESCO STERLING BOND A

This Dublin domiciled fund invests primarily in investment grade Sterling denominated corporate bonds. UK government bonds (gilts) and high yield bonds may also be included in the portfolio to enhance returns or provide capital protection. The fund is effectively a slightly more aggressive version of the Invesco Perpetual on shore Corporate Bond Fund, in that larger portfolio weightings might be given to gilts, high yield bonds, or individual sectors.

Bestinvest says


The fund is effectively a slightly more aggressive version of the Invesco Perpetual on shore Corporate Bond Fund, in that larger portfolio weightings might be given to gilts, high yield bonds, or sectors. The fund benefits from the input of an experienced team prepared to back their convictions - historically Invesco's Fixed Income desk has been prepared to aggressively manage the interest rate sensitivity and the credit exposure of the fund. Whilst this has resulted in periods of under performance and higher volatility, subsequent returns have more than compensated for this.

Investment process


The fund aims to achieve a high level of overall return with relative security of capital, by holding mainly investment grade fixed interest securities, sometimes combined with a portion invested in high yielding non investment grade issues. The process includes an evaluation of the general economic and monetary conditions with a view to managing interest rate risk, combined with in-depth analysis of the individual issuers and evaluation of external research.

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.
