Amity Sterling Bond Fund

Co-managed by Rob Hepworth and Chris Hiorns, the Amity Sterling Bond Fund seeks to invest in a highly diversified portfolio of Government and good quality fixed interest securities issued by companies which make a positive contribution to society and the environment through sustainable and socially responsible practices. The Fund seeks to avoid investment in certain areas such as  companies which have a material involvement in alcohol, tobacco and weapon production, gambling and publication of violent or explicit materials.

Investment objectives

This Fund aims to achieve attractive income from investing in UK Government and good quality sterling fixed interest securities including UK government bonds, corporate bonds, preference shares, convertibles and other loan stock. 

Please note that past performance should not be seen as an indication of future performance, and that the value of investments can fall as well as rise.
