Objective

The objective of the Fund is to preserve capital and generate returns through current income and capital appreciation. The Fund invests primarily in investment grade fixed income securities. This, however, does not preclude the Fund from making equity investments when the Manager deems the risk/reward trade-off to be in the investors’ favour.
