Fund aim
The objective of the Fund is to provide a combination of growth and income above those of the ICE BofA USD 3 Month Deposit Offered Rate Constant Maturity Total Return Index, the "Benchmark Index". The Fund is actively managed and aims to outperform the Benchmark Index by 3.5% per annum.
The Fund aims to deliver this objective while decarbonising the portfolio over time, targeting a 50% reduction in weighted average carbon intensity by 2030, compared to a December 2019 baseline level.
The Fund aims to generate positive returns in all market conditions. The Fund has a higher performance target than that of the L&G Global Unconstrained Bond Fund.
The objective is before the deduction of any charges and measured over rolling three year periods. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
