Fund Objective:
The Fund aims to provide income with the prospect of some investment growth over the long term. It looks to outperform the J.P. Morgan Government Bond Index Global (GBI Global) over rolling 3-year periods, after the deduction of charges.
The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least two-thirds of its assets in bonds issued or guaranteed by governments, government agencies or quasi-government entities worldwide. In addition, the Fund may invest in other bonds, including bonds issued by companies. The Fund usually selects bonds that are investment grade, but may include some bonds with a lower credit rating in the portfolio, if this is considered appropriate. The bonds selected may be denominated in various currencies.
The Fund may also invest in other assets such as cash and deposits, and hold other funds (including funds managed by Columbia Threadneedle companies) when deemed appropriate.
The Fund is not permitted to invest in derivatives for investment purposes, but derivatives may be used with the aim of reducing risk or managing the Fund more efficiently. Derivatives are sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets.
The GBI Global is regarded as a good performance measure of local currency bonds issued by developed market governments. It provides a suitable target benchmark against which Fund performance will be measured and evaluated over time.
