The Fund’s investment objective is to achieve a total return over the medium term, which should be considered as a period of 3-5 years, by predominantly investing in sterling-denominated bonds, which will primarily be short-duration (5 years or less). At least 80% of the Fund will be invested in the bonds of companies and other organisations (known as corporate bonds) that are listed in sterling, of which 70% will have a duration of less than five years. Floating-rate notes, asset-backed securities, supranational bonds and agency bonds are included in this segment of the Fund.
