The investment objective of VT AJ Bell Income & Growth is to achieve capital growth in line with the Consumer Prices Index) whilst also generating income* over a typical investment cycle (5-10 years) through a focus on exposure to equities (particularly those with above average dividend yield). The Fund has a target average yield of 3-5% per annum (over a trailing three year period), which is not guaranteed and may be subject to change as the assumptions on which the target was calculated may change.
The Fund will seek to achieve its objective by investing mainly in other collective investment schemes (especially in the early stages of the Fund's growth) (including those managed or operated by the ACD and those with both passive and active strategies) and so provide exposure to equities (particularly those which the Investment Manager considers to have dividend yields above the average for the relevant regional stock markets and including investment trusts) and bonds as well as alternative asset classes (such as property and infrastructure). The Fund is also expected to invest directly in equities and bonds. The Fund may also invest in transferable securities, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash.
The Fund will not have any particular geographic, industry or economic sector focus although, as the Fund has a dual mandate of both capital growth and sustainable income there will be a focus on higher income generating assets as well as those which are expected to generate capital growth. Lower yielding assets will also be used to ensure diversification. The Fund may have exposure to emerging markets through its investments in e.g. collective investment schemes or direct equities.
Derivatives (that is sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets) are held only for efficient portfolio management purposes.
