Overview

Why ?

  1. The Fund invests mainly in Index Linked Gilts, and will opportunistically make allocations to conventional Gilts, Corporate bonds and Overseas conventional and Index-Linked bonds (fully hedged to Sterling). Corporate bonds may be conventional or Index Linked in nature
  2. Fundamental Active management style that draws on the experience and expertise of over 200 investment professionals worldwide
  3. Combination of 'Traditional' (Interest Rates, Country allocation) and 'Relative Value' (Asset Allocation, Yield Curve, Stock and Sector) decisions drive returns in the portfolio which draws on the extensive fundamental research capabilities of BlackRock, and emphasizes risk management and diversification

Investment Approach

The Fund aims to outperform the FTSE-A Government Securities Over 5 Year Index-Linked Index. This objective is to be treated as a target only and not as an assurance or guarantee of performance of the Fund. The Fund invests mainly in fixed income securities (such as bonds) denominated in Sterling that pay coupon (i.e. interest) and principal in Sterling, and are issued by the UK Government. These fixed income securities must be capital-indexed and linked to an eligible inflation index (i.e. their principal value is protected against inflation) and have a minimum maturity as issuance (i.e. the time from issue until they become due for repayment) greater than 5 years. The Fund is permitted to invest more than 35% and up to 100% of its scheme property in government and public securities issued or guaranteed by the Government of the UK (including the Scottish Administration, the Executive Committee of the Northern Ireland Assembly and the National Assembly of Wales). The Fund may also invest in other fixed income securities, money-market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities) and cash.
The fund invests in fixed interest securities such as corporate or government bonds which pay a fixed or variable rate of interest (also known as the ‘coupon’) and behave similarly to a loan. These securities are therefore exposed to changes in interest rates which will affect the value of any securities held.Fixed income securities issued by governments can be affected by the perceived stability of the country concerned and proposed or actual credit rating downgrades.
