The objective of the fund is to deliver an annual income that is in line with or better than that of the FTSE All-Share Index over any rolling three-year period. The fund also aims to increase income payments in line with the CPI measure of inflation over any rolling five-year period. The fund aims to generate a greater total return than the FTSE All-Share Index, after fees, over any five-year period. To meet the objective, the fund manager will invest at least 80% of the fund in UK-listed shares, with the remainder in global shares, cash, short-term deposits and UK government debt. Derivatives may be used by the fund for the purposes of efficient portfolio management and hedging.
