Fund Objective:
The Fund aims to make a positive return for you over the medium term, notwithstanding changing market conditions. Positive returns are not guaranteed and no form of capital protection applies.
The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least two-thirds of its assets in long and short positions in investment grade or below investment grade bonds (which are similar to a loan and pay a fixed or variable interest rate) issued by companies and governments worldwide. Bonds rated as below investment grade have received lower ratings from international agencies that provide such ratings and are considered riskier than higher rated bonds but typically pay a higher income.
The Fund invests directly in these assets or by using derivatives (complex instruments). Derivatives will be used to obtain, increase or reduce exposure to underlying assets and may create leverage. Where leverage is created, the net asset value of the Fund may experience more fluctuation than if there were no leverage. The Fund will also use derivatives for short selling (which is designed to make a profit from falling prices), hedging purposes or to manage the Fund more efficiently.
The Fund may also invest in asset classes and instruments different from those stated above.
The Fund is not managed in reference to a benchmark.
