The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to achieve a positive medium-term rate of return. The Sub-Fund will seek to achieve its investment objective by gaining direct and, through the use of FDI, indirect exposure to corporate and other fixed income securities (for example, bonds, debentures and promissory notes which pay a fixed or floating rate of interest over a fixed time period) as further set out below, which may be rated or unrated and, if rated, may be rated investment grade or below by a Recognised Rating Agency. The Sub-Fund’s principal focus will be on credit exposure to European issuers, and there is no restriction on the amount of the Sub-Fund that may be invested in unrated securities.
