About this fund
Fund objectives
- The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Sterling Gilt Float Adjusted Index (the ”Index”).
- The Index includes UK Gilts denominated in UK pounds sterling with maturities greater than one year.
- The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in a portfolio of Gilts that, insofar as possible and practicable, consists of a representative sample of the component securities of the Index. 2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions.
Why this fund
- The Fund employs a passive management or indexing investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, designed to track the performance of the index.
- The Fund will invest in a portfolio of fixed income securities with greater than 1 year maturity (for example UK Gilts, debt guaranteed by national government and its agencies) that so far as possible and practicable consists of the component securities of the index.
- The average duration of such fixed income securities is medium term, whilst the range for individual fixed income securities may be between 1 and 50 years.
