The Fund aims to achieve an income return, with some capital growth over the medium to long term (at least 3 to 5 years). The Fund invests only in assets which meet the Fund’s responsible investment screening criteria. The Fund invests at least 70% in investment grade corporate bonds with some exposure to high yield corporate bonds. The corporate bonds in which the Fund invests will be denominated in sterling but may be issued by companies anywhere in the world. Non-sterling exposure will normally be hedged back to sterling.
