Fund Aims
The investment strategy of the fund is to purchase units in the M&G Index-Linked Bond Fund. That fund aims to secure the value of capital and income from the effects of inflation with a long-term total return consistent with investment in index-linked bonds. The portfolio will focus mainly on index-linked debt instruments which may be government and public securities or corporate debt instruments. Non-sterling denominated securities may be held and, if appropriate, the associated currency risks hedged.
