Investment process


The fund may invest in the physical fixed interest securities, index products or their derivative equivalents across sovereign debt, investment grade corporate and high yield fixed income markets with the aim of delivering a positive return over cash in all market conditions. A small proportion of returns may also be attributable to unhedged currency positions.
Derivative based instruments available for the fund's use include sovereign debt futures, interest rate swaps and credit default swaps. These transactions offer the manager a means of protecting the fund and potentially providing incremental gains in a rising interest rate and a deteriorating credit environment. Whilst there are no formal portfolio asset allocation constraints, the fund is structured within an overall risk budget relative to 3 month LIBOR, this is designed to ensure that the portfolio positions are diversified and any single strategy does not dominate the portfolio structure.
The fund is available as accumulation units only, automatic cash withdrawals may be made on an annual, bi-annual, quarterly or monthly basis.

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.
