Investment process


A concentrated fund, mainly investing in UK investment grade corporate bonds with tactical inclusion of gilts and/or high yield debt when appropriate. The portfolio is mainly driven by individual stock selection. Duration and sector positions are monitored but generally arise as a result of the portfolio construction. However, views on the economy may instigate shifts in the portfolio with regard to bond durations, sector weightings and yield curve positioning where appropriate. Fundamental analysis regarding the issuing company will be combined with valuation of the specific issue to select those stocks more likely to produce outperformance.

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.
