Objective
The Fund seeks to maximise total return through income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in debt securities across the major fixed income sectors and that are listed or traded in developed and emerging market countries and denominated in U.S. dollars, Japanese yen, pound sterling, euro and a variety of other currencies. The Fund will have a substantial portion invested in debt securities rated BB or lower by S&P, or equivalent quality, but may also invest in high yielding debt securities which are of a lesser quality.
