The Fund aims to provide income with the prospect of some capital growth over the long term (5 years or more). The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least two-thirds of its assets in bonds issued by the US government and companies worldwide, denominated in US dollars (or hedged back to USD, if a different currency). The Fund may also invest in other bonds, including US denominated bonds issued by governments outside the US (or government agencies), as well as international organisations. The Fund usually selects bonds that are investment grade, but may include some bonds with a lower credit rating in the portfolio if this is considered appropriate to achieve its investment objective.
