The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets). The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in fixed income securities (such as bonds) and money-market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities) which are issued by companies. The fixed income securities and money-market instruments may also be issued by governments, government agencies and supranationals (e.g. the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development).
