First Sentier Global Credit Income Fund - Managed Fund

Fund Objective
The Fund aims to provide income-based returns and to outperform the Bloomberg AusBond Bank Bill Index over rolling three-year periods before fees and taxes by investing in a diversified portfolio of Australian and international fixed interest investments.
Fund Strategy
The Fund's strategy is to invest directly or indirectly in a portfolio of predominantly global credit investments. The Fund aims to deliver an income return from its investments. The Fund aims to control risk through the Investment Manager's investment selection and monitoring, combined with broad diversification. Generally, the increased credit risk of credit securities means that these investments have the potential to deliver higher returns over the medium term compared to cash.
