A sterling denominated sovereign bond fund for charities looking for income with lower capital risk than investing in equities.
The Fund seeks to provide income and capital growth exceeding that of the iBoxx Gilt Index by investing in bonds issued by the UK Government.
We aim to be good stewards of our investors’ money.
At least 30% of the Fund will be invested in bonds with fixed coupons issued by the UK Governments (Gilts). It may also invest, or have holdings of:
