The Portfolio seeks to achieve a total return from income with some capital appreciation. The Portfolio will seek to deliver returns with lower volatility than that of the short-term European high yield bond market. The Portfolio is actively managed and will seek exposure, directly or indirectly, to credit rated below Investment Grade, that is issued by companies domiciled in Europe or with significant European operations, or is denominated in EUR or GBP and whose residual maturity does not exceed 4 years.
