financial year and report
thereon to Shareholders.
Depositary Liability
Pursuant to the Depositary Agreement, the Depositary will be
liable for loss of financial
instruments held in custody (i.e. those assets which are
required to be held in custody
pursuant to the UCITS Regulations) or in the custody of any
sub-custodian, unless it can
prove that loss has arisen as a result of an external event
beyond its control, the
consequences of which would have been unavoidable despite all
reasonable efforts to the

suffered as a result of the
Depositary’s negligent or intentional failure to properly fulfil
its obligations under the UCITS
Regulations.

to whom it has delegated parts of its safekeeping services and
of the arrangements of the
third party in respect of the matters delegated to it. The
liability of the Depositary will not be
affected by virtue of any such delegation.
Under the Depositary Agreement, the Depositary has power to
delegate the whole or any
part of its depositary functions, however as noted above, its
liability will not be affected by

Fund
Investment Objective
The investment objective of the Sub-Fund is to achieve a
total return comprised of income and long-term capital
growth.
Investment Strategy
The Sub-Fund will invest primarily, meaning at least
80% of Net Asset Value, in a broadly diversified
portfolio of high yield bonds, which offer relatively
attractive risk adjusted yields. The Sub-Fund may
invest in assets denominated in currencies other than
the U.S. Dollar.
The Sub-Fund may utilise financial derivative
instruments (“FDI”) for investment, hedging and
efficient portfolio management purposes. It will use
the Relative Value at Risk (“VaR”) methodology to
assess the Sub-Fund’s leverage and market risk
volatility. The Sub-Fund’s portfolio will not exceed
twice the VaR on a representative benchmark
portfolio (using a 1 Business Day holding period). The
Relative VaR benchmark is the ICE Bank of America
Merrill Lynch Developed Markets High Yield
Constrained Index (hedged to US Dollars). The gross
leverage is expected to vary between 100% and
500% of the Net Asset Value. The gross leverage may
exceed this target level at times.

The Sub-Fund has no restrictions (save as set out under
the section entitled “The Company - Investment and

the case of warrants)) of companies located
worldwide which are listed or traded on Eligible

conviction of the Investment Manager that no
company, market or economy can be considered in
isolation; each must be understood in a global
context. The Investment Manager believes that
events occurring around the world influence all
financial markets and that successful investment in
global equities requires therefore a thorough
understanding of the world as a whole.
The Investment Manager identifies themes which
encompass the major areas of change in the world
and use these themes as the basis of our investment
ideas. This global, thematic approach allows the
Investment Manager to gain long-term perspective on
global financial markets and economies and always to
consider the ‘big picture’.

efficient portfolio management purposes. It will use
