The investment objective is to deliver a totalreturn (capital growth plus income, gross of fees) that exceeds the UK Consumer Prices Index (CPI) by at least 3% per annum over any 5 year period. By investing in the Fund, capital is at risk. The Fund is a flexible multi-asset fund that invests across a range of asset classes on a global basis, taking into account factors such as global economic trends and growth opportunities. As a result, at any one time the Fund may be diversified across asset classes, sectors, currencies or geographies in various proportions. At least 80% of the Fund will usually consist of equities, corporate bonds and government and public securities and derivatives, with some flexibility to hold high levels of cash to meet the investment objective.
