Objectives and Approach

The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a total return over the medium term, which should be considered as a period of 3-5 years, by investing predominantly in sterling-denominated corporate bonds. The Fund’s performance target is to outperform, after the deduction of charges, the Markit iBoxx Sterling Non-Gilts Total Return GBP Index (the "Index") over a rolling 5-year period. The Index is regarded as a good measure of the performance of investment grade corporate bonds denominated in sterling. The Index is considered an appropriate benchmark for the Fund's performance, as the Fund’s potential investments will predominantly be included in the Index. In addition to the benchmark for the Fund’s performance as noted above (the "Index"), the IA Sterling Corporate Bond sector is considered an appropriate benchmark for performance comparison.

        Important Information
        Headline performance can mask the true characteristics of a fund. Without fully understanding how a fund is managed, you may inadvertently become exposed to an undesirable level of risk to your capital. Some funds carry a dilution levy which reduces the number of units realised on any initial investment as an initial charge. If this fund carries such a levy it should be detailed in the Key Investor Information Document (KIID), which we must provide and you should read before investing.

        The charts and performance data shown are supplied by an external data provider and may contain data that appears to precede the introduction of the clean unit class for this fund. In such cases, historical data has been synthesised at the entire discretion of that external provider as realistically as possible using historical data recorded against the previously available commission-paying version of the fund, adjusting for fees in the process.
