Investment process


The fund's objective is to provide an above-average and growing income without sacrificing the benefits of long-term capital growth by investing primarily in the UK. The Fund aims to provide a yield higher than that of the FTSE All-Share Index and to employ a conservative strategy in terms of asset distribution and individual stock selection. A proportion of the Fund's assets will be invested in fixed interest securities. Exposure to overseas markets may be gained directly or indirectly (e.g. via collective investment schemes or investment trusts).

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.
