About this fund
Fund objectives
The Fund seeks to provide a return on your investment (through an increase in the value of, and income received from, assets held by the Fund) within a pre-defined asset allocation over the long-term (5 years or more).
The Fund is actively managed and seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing at least 90% of its assets by value in a diversified portfolio of passive funds that seek to track the performance of an index, and which are managed or operated by the ACD or other companies in the Vanguard Group of Companies (“Associated Schemes”).
The pre-defined asset allocation for the Fund means that it is intended that the Fund will invest approximately 100% of its assets by value in Associated Schemes which provide exposure to shares of companies worldwide. Approximately 25% of such exposure will be in UK listed companies.
This Fund is part of a range of funds. Within this range, a fund which invests more in Associated Schemes that provide exposure to shares of companies will typically be riskier than a fund which invests more in Associated Schemes that provide exposure to government and corporate bonds and other similar fixed income investments.
In addition to the pre-defined asset allocation, the Investment Adviser will aim to maintain a strategic asset allocation that is designed using research conducted by Vanguard. The Fund does not aim to outperform this strategic asset allocation.
The Fund may also invest up to 10% of its assets directly in transferable securities (such as shares, bonds and other similar fixed income investments, which will generally be components of the indices tracked by the Associated Schemes), money market instruments and deposits.
The Fund attempts to remain fully invested and hold small amounts of cash except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses.
