Fund Aims

The fund aims to provide a positive return over the long term whether markets go up or down by investing in UK company shares. Derivatives will be used to help the fund achieve its objective. The fund aims to typically deliver absolute (more than zero) returns in each year, although an absolute return performance is not guaranteed. Over the short term it may experience periods of negative returns so the fund may not achieve this objective.

Important Information

Source of portfolio data: Broadridge. Source of performance data: FE fundinfo. We can’t predict the future. Past performance isn’t a guide to future performance. The figures shown are intended only to demonstrate performance history of the fund, after allowing for the impact of ongoing charges, but take no account of product charges. Ongoing charges may vary in the future and may be higher than they are now. Fund performance is based upon the movement of the daily price and is shown as total return in GBP with income reinvested. The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you might get back less than you put in.
