Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) by tracking closely the performance of the FTSE Actuaries UK Index Linked Gilts Over 5 Years Index, the Fund’s benchmark index. The Fund is passively managed and the investment adviser has discretion to select the Fund’s investments and in doing so may take into consideration the Benchmark Index. The Fund invests in fixed income securities (FI) (such as bonds) that make up the benchmark index and, at the time of purchase, comply with the credit rating requirements of the benchmark index. The benchmark index measures the performance of United Kingdom (UK) domestic Government index-linked bonds. It consists of FI securities denominated in Sterling that pay coupon (i.e. interest) and principal in Sterling, and are issued by the UK Government. The FI securities must be capital-indexed and linked to an eligible inflation index (i.e. their principal value is protected against inflation). The FI securities will have a credit rating at the time of inclusion in the benchmark index linked to that of the UK Government. They will have a time to maturity (i.e. the time until they become due for repayment) of at least 5 years.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

The value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount is not guaranteed. Two main risks related to fixed income investing are interest rate risk and credit risk. Typically, when interest rates rise, there is a corresponding decline in the market value of bonds. Credit risk refers to the possibility that the issuer of the bond will not be able to repay the principal and make interest payments.

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company
