| 4. Investment objectives | |
| Previous objective | To generate income over the long term (at least 5 years) by investing at least 80% of its portfolio in investment grade corporate bonds. The issuers may be from anywhere in the world and issues may be denominated in any currency. Non-sterling exposures will normally be hedged back to Sterling. The Manager may, from time to time in exceptional market conditions, invest more than 35% of the property of the Trust in Government and other public securities issued by one issuer. The Manager may use derivatives, including hedge transactions, for efficient portfolio management. |
| New objective | To provide total returns comprised of income and capital growth over at least a full credit cycle (this objective may be measured over at least 5 years). The fund targets a positive return of Overnight SONIA +4% before fees over a full credit cycle (which may be measured over 5-year rolling periods). While the fund aims to achieve a positive return and its performance target, there is no guarantee that either will be achieved over the full credit cycle, or over any period of time, and there is a risk of loss. A credit cycle means the economic conditions over which the cost of borrowing initially increases, then decreases and then stabilises. Credit cycles can vary in length and typically last between 3 and 7 years. The fund invests primarily (at least two-thirds) in bonds (or similar debt-based assets) issued by borrowers around the world (including but not limited to emerging markets) and in related derivatives (financial contracts whose value is linked to the price of such bonds (or similar debt-based assets)). These bonds (or similar debt-based assets) may be denominated in any currency, have any credit rating or be unrated, and may be issued by any borrower e.g. governments or companies. They may also have a fixed or floating rate and/or coupon, and may be of any duration (measures the sensitivity of the value of bonds (or similar debt-based assets) to change in interest rates). The fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in structured credit instruments (assets whose value and level of income payments depend on the underlying assets held by/for the business that issue them). Derivatives may be used for investment purposes and/or managing the fund in a way that is designed to reduce risk or cost and/or generate income or growth with a low level of risk. The fund evaluates the sustainability of the companies it invests in as part of its broader research process in selecting and monitoring investments, but it does not have a specific sustainability goal. Further, the fund operates under an exclusion policy, meaning it will not invest in certain business activities. |
