Investment policy

The fund invests in a global equity and bond portfolio. Equities account for 30 - 60%. The companies in the equity portfolio are from various regions, countries and sectors. Investment is primarily made in bonds issued by or guaranteed by states, mortgage-credit institutions and international organisations. Assets are also invested in emerging-market bonds and equities and in corporate bonds. These bonds involve a certain degree of risk.

At least 75% of the fund's assets will at all times be invested in GBP or hedged to GBP. As indicated in the fund name, GBP is the base currency of the fund; it is not necessarily the currency in which the fund invests.

The objective of the portfolio management is continuously to generate a risk-adjusted return which is at least in line with the risk-adjusted return of the fund’s benchmark.
The return is measured over the time horizon which the typical investor in the fund should have as a minimum according to the paragraph on ‘The typical investor’.
The portfolio return is stated after costs of active portfolio management.

Financial instruments

The fund may use derivative financial instruments.
