Bonds pay interest over a fixed term, or period of time. When the bond matures at the end of the term, the principal, or initial investment amount, is repaid to the lender, the owner of the bond.
Conservative investors use bonds to provide a steady stream of income. They buy a bond when it is issued and hold it, expecting to receive regular, fixed-interest payments until the bond matures. Then they get the principal back to re-invest.

Investors should be aware that performance returns are affected by market fluctuations. Investing entails risks, including possible loss of principal. Past performance is no guarantee of future performance. Investors should note that the use of derivatives and investments involving a currency other than their own will create foreign exchange exposure, which involves special risks. It is the aim of the Company to preserve capital and, where applicable, to maintain a stable net asset value per share; these aims are not guaranteed. Additionally, investors should consider their investment objectives, whether or not they can assume these risks and should undertake their own appropriate professional advice.
