• SWIP Sterling Index Linked Bond Fund

    Fund Objective

    To provide a total return by investing in a portfolio of predominantly bonds.

    Fund Strategy

    The Fund is benchmarked against a portfolio of bonds representative of the UK index-linked bond market. As well as the base total return achieved from investing in a portfolio of inflation-linked bonds, we aim to add excess returns through selective tactical and strategic positions in the areas of duration management, yield curve analysis, allocations to corporate bonds including higher yielding bonds and non-sterling denominated debt including emerging market debt. This is achieved by harnessing SWIP's bond expertise within a structured process which captures both top down and bottom up research.
