L&G Buy and Maintain Credit Fund Z GBP Accumulation/  LU1054984114  /

The Fund aims to provide investors with a combination of growth and income. The Fund will invest predominantly in fixed income securities (investments that provide a certain level of income). These include corporate bonds and other debt instruments, issued in the UK or overseas. The Fund will invest primarily in debt rated by a recognised rating agency as investment grade (rated as lower risk). The minimum credit rating at the time of purchase shall be no less than investment grade, although the Fund may retain bonds which are downgraded below investment grade after purchase. The fund will limit its investment in sub-investment grade debt to 10% of its Net Asset Value. Credit ratings give an indication of how likely it is that the issuer of a bond will be able to pay back interest and the loan on time. The Fund may also invest in unrated bonds which have not been rated by a credit rating agency. The Fund may also invest in other transferable securities, including but not limited to, depository receipts, permitted deposits, money market instruments, cash, near cash and units in collective investment schemes. Derivatives may also be used to protect or enhance the value of the Fund or to seek to reduce the risks of certain investments. Derivatives are financial instruments whose values are based upon the price of one or more other asset(s). Some investments held by the Fund may be issued in currencies other than sterling. The Fund may use a technique known as currency hedging to seek to protect against exchange rate movements between other currencies and sterling. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in asset-backed securities (ABS) and mortgage-backed securities (MBS). The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in contingent convertible debt securities.
