CT MONTHLY EXTRA INCOME FUND 1 Income Shares (GBP)

Strategie

The Fund selects companies that exhibit above average income generation potential, as well as those considered to offer opportunities more by way of share price or dividend growth. These companies may be chosen from any industry or economic sector, and whilst there is no restriction on size, investment tends to focus on the larger companies included in the FTSE AllShare Index. The bonds selected are usually investment grade corporate bonds, but may also include government bonds. These bonds are denominated in sterling (or hedged back to sterling, if a different currency). The FTSE All-Share Index is regarded as an appropriate performance measure of the UK stock market, with over 600 companies currently included. The income yield of this index provides a suitable target benchmark against which the level of income generated by the Fund will be measured and evaluated over time. The Fund may also invest in other assets such as cash and deposits, and hold other funds (including funds managed by Columbia Threadneedle companies) when deemed appropriate.

Ziel

The Fund aims to provide a monthly income with prospects for investment growth over the long term. It looks to provide an income yield higher than the FTSE All-Share Index over rolling 3-year periods, after the deduction of charges. The Fund is actively managed, and invests in a combination of company shares and bonds, typically, between 70-80% in UK company shares and 20%-30% in bonds. The Fund considers UK companies to mean companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, predominantly those domiciled in the UK, or which have significant UK business operations.
