The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to seek maximum long-term return and preservation of capital. The Sub-Fund seeks to invest at least two-thirds of its assets in a diversified portfolio of fixed income instruments of varying maturities. The Sub-Fund will not be constrained by fixed income market index related investment restrictions or tracking error targets. The average portfolio duration of the Sub-Fund will normally vary from negative 2 years to positive 6 years based on the Investment Manager’s forecast for interest rates. The Sub-Fund may invest in both investment-grade and high yield fixed income debt securities, subject to a maximum of 50% of its net assets in securities rated lower than Baa3 by major rating agencies or market benchmarks at the time of the investment.
