Investment process


Invests predominantly in international high quality bonds, these may include government, supranational or corporate issues, there is also the potential to take positions in emerging market and higher yielding corporate debt. The duration profile of the fund is actively managed between 0 to 9 years. Whilst there is no minimum exposure to sterling denominated bonds, the maximum unhedged non sterling position is 20%.
Top down decisions on market and sector allocation are determined by the Global Fixed Income team. Individual security selection to reflect these views is then delegated to specialist regional teams. Derivatives may be used as part of the manager's strategy to manage duration, yield curve and credit exposure.

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.
