The investment objective of the Fund is to provide Shareholders with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns, which reflects the total return of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate 1-5 Year Index, the Fund’s Benchmark Index. In order to achieve this objective, the Fund will invest as far as possible and practicable in the fixed income securities that make up the Fund’s Benchmark Index. The Fund may also invest in other fixed income securities (such as bonds issued by governments, government-related issuers, corporate issuers or entities in the securitised sector) in order to achieve a similar return to the Fund’s Benchmark Index in a cost efficient manner. The Fund’s investments will normally be listed or traded on Regulated Markets.
