The objective of this fund is to provide a combination of income and growth. The fund will invest between 80% and 100% in bonds and/or derivatives and/or cash. The bonds may have a fixed or variable rate of income. The bonds that the fund invests in may be investment grade (rated as lower risk) or sub-investment grade (rated as higher risk). The bonds held may be issued by companies or governments and may be issued in the UK or overseas. 35% or more of the fund can be invested in bonds issued by the government of any one of various countries or by any one of various international organisations. The fund may use derivatives to reduce risk or cost, or to generate additional capital or income with no, or an acceptably low, level of risk. The fund may also use derivatives for investment purposes to enhance the performance of the fund, manage the effect of changes in interest rates, manage the effect of changes in exchange rates with Sterling, removing 90% or more of this exchange rate risk. The fund may also invest in other funds and/or company shares.

Commentary
December was marked by an unusually early onset of the traditional pre-Christmas low levels of liquidity, combined with elevated market volatility. In the aftermath of the EU/IMF bailout of Ireland in November, subordinated financial issues staged a partial recovery in early December, though senior bank debt performed relatively poorly amid concerns that senior bondholders could be forced to share the costs of future bailouts. During the month we put money to work in non-financial corporate issues, concentrating on those areas set to remain beneficiaries of the trend of rising demand for commodities in emerging markets, adding exposure to raw material supplier Glencore. We also lifted some of portfolio’s hedging in non-financial corporates, both at the single-name and index levels. Over the month our exposure to high-yield, non-financial corporate and financial corporates rose by approximately 2.0%, 3.1% and 9.3% respectively, with the latter largely achieved through much-reduced hedging of the portfolio’s exposure. However, we maintained our hedging on UK government issues, retaining our view that gilts could yet suffer from any potential overspill of the Irish crisis. Elsewhere, we locked in healthy gains from our interest rate strategies, taking profits from our duration stances in both the US and Europe; we closed our exposure to German Schatz short-dated bond futures at a very advantageous level, before taking the opportunity to re-establish some exposure later in the month.

Important Information
Source of portfolio data: Broadridge. Source of performance data: FE fundinfo. We can’t predict the future. Past performance isn’t a guide to future performance. The figures shown are intended only to demonstrate performance history of the fund, after allowing for the impact of ongoing charges, but take no account of product charges. Ongoing charges may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now. Fund performance is based upon the movement of the daily price and is shown as total return in GBP with income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in. This factsheet is for information purposes only. If there is information or terminology included that you would like to discuss, then please contact an adviser. Investors should refer to their policy documentation and supporting brochures for fund availability, investment strategy, any product information and charges.
