Objectives and Approach

The investment objective of the fund is to target absolute positive capital growth and the fund will seek to achieve its objective on an active basis. The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by outperforming its benchmark, the Sterling Overnight Index (the “Benchmark”) on an annual basis by 2.5% over rolling three year periods and aims to provide positive performance over 12 month periods. The Benchmark is an index which tracks overnight funding rates in the Sterling market. The Benchmark is being used by the Fund for performance comparison purposes only and the Fund does not intend to track the Benchmark.

        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.
