Fund objective
The fund aims to provide long term growth mainly from the reinvestment of income generated by investing predominantly in euro denominated bonds such as government bonds and corporate bonds. The fund is actively managed by our investment teams who may also invest a proportion of assets in other bonds (e.g. non-euro denominated bonds) and/or money market instruments, such as certificates of deposits (CDs) and floating rate notes (FRNs) to try to take ad vantage of opportunities they have identified.
Fund strategy
Through investment in an actively managed portfolio of bonds.

Risk
Details
Risk in the table below refers to the fund’s volatility. The standard deviation shows how much the fund’s returns fluctuate. Higher SD values mean more ups and downs. The Sharpe ratio tells us how much return the fund delivers for each unit of risk taken. Ideally, we want to see a positive Sharpe ratio, indicating we're being rewarded for the risk. Whether a low or high standard deviation is preferable depends on your investment horizon and risk tolerance, younger investors may be more comfortable with higher volatility in pursuit of higher returns.
