Fund insights
Detailed information extracted from the fund factsheet.
For some funds that invest in shares or bonds, the assets in that fund may be used for the purpose of securities lending in order to earn an additional return for the fund. While securities lending increases the level of risk within a fund it provides an opportunity to increase the investment return.
Manager commentary - March 2026
Markets were weaker in March as global equities fell and bonds also softened. The political backdrop turned tense after the US and Israel carried out attacks on Iranian military and energy sites and Iran responded, raising fears of a wider conflict and pushing oil prices sharply higher. Commodities were the main positive, while investors grew more cautious as geopolitical risks increased
