the performance measurement team in the areas of AIMR compliance
and attribution methodology.
From 1987, Andrew spent five years at Phillips & Drew Fund

of the team that constructed and managed PDFM's range of pooled
global index funds. He was also responsible for the risk analysis
of PDFM's actively managed funds. Prior to this, he spent eighteen

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to achieve a long-term return, broadly similar to the
long-term return that is typically achieved on government bonds, by
investing at any given time at least two thirds of its net assets
in transferable debt securities, derivatives, fixed term deposits
and Money Market Instruments denominated in any currency. In order
for the Fund to achieve its investment objective it is expected to
invest in bond index futures. The volatility of this Fund is not
expected to be any greater than that of the underlying bond market.
The return will be a combination of capital and income
returns.
Important information
This Fund invests in bonds, other fixed income securities and
derivatives which collectively may be more volatile than a fund
investing solely in cash. You should bear in mind that the value of
all investments can go down as well as up. As the Fund invests
globally, it is exposed to changes in exchange rates which may
cause the value of investments to fall or rise independently of the
underlying holdings. The yield generated is subject to fluctuation
and is not guaranteed.
