The Fund invests mainly in investment grade corporate bonds denominated in any European currency, as well as in European currency denominated high yield corporate bonds and government and other public securities. The Fund aims to maximise total return (the combination of income and growth of capital) while generating a higher level of income than that from European government bonds of similar maturities.
The Fund invests mainly in investment grade (AAA-BBB) euro-denominated corporate bonds to ensure diversification. The fund manager aims to hold 125 securities in the portfolio. Sector allocation is of equal importance to stock selection.
