Investment Objectives
The Fund aims to provide investors with high investment returns primarily through income, with reasonable safety of capital.
Investment Strategy
In pursuing the Fund’s investment objective, the sub-advisor: normally invests at least 85% of the Fund’s assets in debt instruments; invests mainly in debt instruments rated investment grade but may also invest in non-investment grade debt instruments; may invest up to 30% of the Fund’s assets in foreign debt instruments and other foreign securities; uses a combination of bottom-up credit research and top-down macro analysis in constructing a diversified portfolio.
