The Fund aims to grow your investment (through an increase in the value of, and income received from, assets held by the Fund) over the long term (5 years or more) by investing within a pre-defined mix of assets. It does this by investing at least 90% of its assets in a diversified portfolio of funds that seek to track the performance of an index. This means the Fund can invest in funds that, in turn, invest globally in either company shares or government and corporate bonds. The UK will generally be one of the largest single country exposures for both shares and bonds.
