CT Dollar Bond Fund Retail Gross Accumulation GBP/  GB0002771946  /

The Fund aims to provide income with the prospect of some investment growth over the long term (5 years or more). The Fund is actively managed, and invests at least two-thirds of its assets in bonds issued by the US government and companies worldwide, denominated in US dollars (or hedged back to USD, if a different currency). The Fund may also invest in other bonds, including US denominated bonds issued by governments outside the US (or government agencies), as well as international organisations. The Fund usually selects bonds that are investment grade, but may include some bonds with a lower credit rating in the portfolio if this is considered appropriate to achieve its investment objective. 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. The Fund is not permitted to invest in derivatives for investment purposes, but derivatives may be used with the aim of reducing risk or managing the Fund more efficiently. Derivatives are sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets.
