Overview of JPM CAUTIOUS TOTAL RETURN A

The fund aims to produce over the medium term a return that is 3 percentage points higher than cash, as measured by Libor (the rate at which banks lend to each other). At least 50 per cent of the portfolio will be in cash or government bonds, with the rest in equities and convertible bonds. Given the fact that government bonds are currently yielding less than Libor these targets seem pretty hard to achieve. If half the fund earns Libor this this would mean that the risky part of the portfolio would need to achieve at least Libor +6% (at current rates). This seems a tall order given that long-term real return from equities is about 6-7 per cent a year.
