GBP Corporate Bond AAA-AA-A Fund (Passive)

Fund aim

The investment objective of the fund is to provide diversified exposure to the GBP corporate bond markets and produce a return in line with the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate GBP Corp Over 5 Year ex BBB Index.

Fund characteristics

The fund employs an index tracking strategy, aiming to replicate the performance of its benchmark. We follow a pragmatic approach to managing index funds, either investing directly in the securities of that index, or indirectly through other LGIM funds. The constituent universe for the fund does not include government related securities such as agency, local authority and sovereign supranational issues. The fund may also hold gilts to provide liquidity and futures for efficient portfolio management purposes.
