The investment objective of the Fund is to produce returns, net of fees and expenses, above the return of the Barclays U.S. Intermediate Corporate Bond Index (the “Index”). To qualify for inclusion in the Index, securities must be issued by a corporation, US dollar denominated, rated investment grade, have a fixed rate coupon, have a remaining maturity greater than or equal to 1 year and less than 10 years and a minimum issue size of approximately $250million. The Directors reserve the right to substitute an equivalent index should they consider it appropriate upon obtaining the prior approval from the Shareholders. Details of any alternative index and consequential change of investment objective will be included in a revised Supplement and in the report and accounts of the Company. There can be no assurance that the Fund will achieve its investment objective.
