The UK Index-Linked Fund invests normally exclusively in UK index linked gilts although it has the discretion to hold cash and non government index linked bonds up to 20% of the fund with a view to outperforming the FTSE UK Index Linked All Stocks index. The key factors generating investment performance for the UK Index-Linked Fund will be: the maturity profile, market timing and cash raising.
