Strategy

The Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 80% of its total assets at any one time in an internationally diversified portfolio of both corporate and government fixed interest securities. The portfolio may also, from time to time, include securities with floating interest rates. For this purpose, total assets exclude cash and ancillary liquidities.

Who Should Invest

The Fund is designed for investors seeking a strategy that targets total return with a focus on investing in a diversified portfolio of primarily investment grade bonds.

Risks

The value of investments and the income they provide can fall as well as rise and investors may not get back the amount originally invested. The Fund may use derivatives for investment purposes. These are complex instruments that carry the risk of causing increased volatility in the value of the Fund.
