About this fund
Fund objectives
- The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Sterling Gilt Float Adjusted Index (the ”Index”).
- The Index includes UK Gilts denominated in UK pounds sterling with maturities greater than one year.
- The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing in a portfolio of Gilts that, insofar as possible and practicable, consists of a representative sample of the component securities of the Index. 2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions.
