| GEMs Fixed Interest |
Portfolio Objectives
This portfolio is a higher income producing portfolio, achieved by
investment in a spread of fixed interest collective investments. The investments
will be chosen from the sectors defined by IMA that incorporate fixed interest
investments. Funds will be chosen using the Minerva Rating system. This
portfolio will be monitored closely, and changes will only be made under certain
circumstances, for example if a collective investment fails to meet the
standards of consistency required within that particular sector, or a change of
Fund Manager for a collective investment may, in the view of Minerva, adversely
affect the prospect of continued, consistent performance. Potential capital
growth is usually lower in fixed interest investments than equity investments.
This portfolio can be used in conjunction with the GEMS UK Equity Income
portfolio, to provide a higher income element where regular withdrawals are
required.
