The Fund may also invest directly in shares in companies, corporate and government bonds (both investment grade and sub-investment grade), cash, deposits and money market instruments (such as treasury bills).

Derivatives may be used by the fund for efficient portfolio management and hedging.

The investment policy is subject to the limitations set out in Appendix B of the prospectus.

The objective of the Fund is to achieve a consistent absolute return over the long term (5 years) irrespective of market conditions. Capital is in fact at risk, and there is no guarantee that the investment objective will be achieved over a five year, or any, period.
