Overview

Fund Objective: The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a total return (combination of capital growth and income) over the medium term (3–5 years) by investing at least 80% in UK government bonds, also known as gilts. The Fund’s performance target is to outperform, after the deduction of charges, the FTSE UK Gilts Government (All Stocks) Total Return GBP Index (the "Index") over rolling 5-year periods. The Index is regarded as a good measure of the performance of every UK government bond quoted on the London Stock Exchange. 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 UK Gilts sector is considered an appropriate benchmark for performance comparison.
