Bestinvest says


This fund is an alternative to an equity income portfolio and follows a more balanced approach towards enhancing income, whilst aiming to reduce the volatility of underlying capital. The fund is suitable for those looking for above average income, with some growth potential and benefits from the experience of two highly respected managers. However, our favoured fund in this space is Invesco Perpetual Distribution.

Investment process


The corporate bonds elimant of the fund provides the majority of the income while the UK equity holdings are intended to provide some yield and the majority of capital growth.
John Hamilton manages the corporate bond portion, which is dominated with UK issues, although there are some European and North American holdings. He targets relative value anomalies and prefers a broadly diversified portfolio.
Anthony Nutt takes a pragmatic view to stock picking, focusing upon fundamentals and could be considered as a Growth At a Reasonable Price (GARP) investor. He targets companies with sustainable business models, which generally tend to be larger cap stocks.

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.
