Investment process


The aim is to maximise total return from income and capital growth in the world bond markets. An actively managed portfolio of bonds denominated in different currencies is held. Bonds held are typically of OECD countries or of supranational quality.
Currency hedging is undertaken reducing currency specific risk, at a cost as potential capital gains from beneficial currency movements are also foregone. The manager also aims to add value through active duration management, (themes and markets) and yield curve positioning. Stock selection is of minority interest.
They will conduct backward looking statistical analysis, test portfolios under various future scenarios and they will consider the likelihood of the each scenario occurring.

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.
