Strategic Bond Fund

Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of an investment and the income from it may go down as well as up and investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

Fund aim

The fund aims to generate a total return above sterling cash interest rates. The fund invests primarily through a flexible allocation to investment grade bonds, noninvestment grade bonds and derivative instruments. It invests in rated and unrated securities including bonds, notes of fixed variable interest, preference shares, equities, convertible and other securities issued by government, quasigovernment, supranational, bank and corporate entities, and derivative instruments.

Fund overview and performance target

Fund manager, Peter Harvey, has the flexibility to invest across the credit spectrum, depending on where he sees the most relative value. The fund invests in predominantly UK and Euro issuers, aiming to generate a gross return substantially above cash over the medium term. There is no guarantee that this target will be achieved.
