investment target

The fund’s objective is to provide a return of capital growth and income primarily through investment in a portfolio of investment grade (i.e. at or greater than BBB- rated by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch Ratings or Baa3 rated by Moody’s) debt securities denominated in local and foreign currencies, issued by governments, government agencies, supra-national and corporate borrowers across Asia (ex Japan) debt markets. The Schroder Asian Premium Bond Fund is also permitted to make tactical investments (up to 30% maximum including cash) in G7 Government bonds for diversification and capital preservation purposes.
