The Fund aims to provide income with the prospect of some investment growth over the long term (5 years, or more). It also looks to outperform the iBoxx GBP Non-Gilts Index (the “Index”) 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 investment grade corporate bonds that are denominated in sterling (or hedged back to sterling, if a different currency), issued by UK companies and companies worldwide.
