Fund Objective: The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets). The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in fixed income securities (such as bonds) and money-market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities) which are issued by companies. The fixed income securities and money-market instruments may also be issued by governments, government agencies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development). The Fund will invest in the full range of fixed income securities and money-market instruments which may include investments with a relatively low credit rating or which are unrated. Where the Fund invests in assets denominated in a currency other than Sterling, the investment adviser (IA) will use derivatives in order to reduce the effect of fluctuations in the exchange rate between that other currency and Sterling. A derivative is an investment the price of which is based on one or more underlying assets. The IA may use derivatives to reduce risk within the Fund’s portfolio, reduce investment costs and generate additional income. The Fund may, via derivatives, generate varying amounts of market leverage (i.e. where the Fund gains market exposure in excess of the value of its assets). The Fund is actively managed and the IA has discretion to select the Fund's investments. In doing so, the IA will refer to the ICE BofAML Sterling Corporate and Collateralized Index (the “Index”) when constructing the Fund’s portfolio, and also for risk management purposes to ensure that the active risk (i.e. degree of deviation from the index) taken by the Fund remains appropriate given the Fund’s investment objective and policy. The IA is not bound by the components or weighting of the Index when selecting investments. The Index should be used by unitholders to compare the performance of the Fund Recommendation: This Fund may not be appropriate for short-term investment.

ESG

What is ESG?

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance and is an approach for evaluating to what extent a company works towards social goals. For investors this can be used in order to understand how their funds and the assets they are made up of work towards these goals and use that information to help make sustainable investment choices.
