2 The post financial crisis fiscal response has been unprecedented. With vast quantitative easing (QE) measures and interest rates held at 60-year lows, central banks have gone to great lengths to support markets and suppress volatility. However, the political landscape continues to surprise, resulting in economic uncertainty and questions over portfolio positioning. UNCERTAIN ECONOMIC OUTLOOK QE has pushed bond prices up and driven yields to historically low levels as investors seek safe haven assets. The hunt for yield has turned many investors towards riskier fixed interest assets. Thus far, below target inflation has hampered the government s ability to ease sovereign debt. However, the question remains: how long can interest rates stay so low as the prospect of an interest rate rise looms somewhere on the horizon? There has been some divergence in policy between the US and Europe. The European Central Bank (ECB) has announced ongoing asset purchases, while the US Federal Reserve s (Fed) QE programme has ended and various rate rises have followed, with current forecasts predicting that there will be further hikes over the coming months and years. However, with ongoing headwinds to the economic recovery, at RLAM we believe that any change in interest rates in the UK will be very gradual. In this scenario, longer duration bond yields will rise, with their price falling correspondingly. Including some exposure to shorter duration bonds could help reduce interest rate sensitivity and balance this risk. Strategies with short duration characteristics could therefore offer attractive yields as well as an element of capital protection. INVESTING FOR THIS ENVIRONMENT Regardless of the extent and pace of interest rate and yield rises, the returns from bonds are likely to remain uncertain given ongoing market volatility. Short duration strategies are typically used by investors who are wary of near-term interest rate movements and rising or volatile yields. BANK OF ENGLAND (BOE) BASE RATE BoE Base Rate Source: Bank of England as at Prior to May 2012 the Official Bank rate was published to two decimal places but has since been changed to four decimal places for consistency.
3 WHY SHORT DURATION? Duration is an important tool for bond Fund Managers. Allowing managers to compare potential price sensitivity across bonds with varying yields, prices and maturities, duration can be adjusted to control portfolio risk. Less exposed to economic cycles, shorter duration bonds can be invaluable in helping manage interest rate risk in particular. The closer the bond maturity, the quicker the principal can be reinvested at a new interest rate, which can be beneficial when interest rates rise, offering potential for a higher yield. It s this protection against interest rate rises that makes short duration bonds so well-suited to uncertain market conditions. Short duration bonds offer protection not just from any hike in interest rates but also from any ensuing increase in market volatility and liquidity challenges that resultant outflows could create. Longer duration bonds - which have a higher sensitivity to rate rises - carry a greater risk of capital loss than short dated bonds. In addition to the aim of reducing interest rate sensitivity, short duration bonds can also offer a number of other advantages: INCOME as with all fixed interest assets, coupons from short dated bonds address the need for income, an important requirement as the demand for yield remains strong LIQUIDITY short duration bond funds are inherently liquid (relative to longer dated bond funds) given that the bonds within the portfolio are regularly maturing DIVERSIFICATION short duration bonds can produce returns that are less correlated with traditional bond markets, can benefit from inflation and hedge downside risk REDUCED COSTS shorter dated bonds tend to be held until maturity, potentially reducing turnover and associated dealing costs REDUCED VOLATILITY short duration bonds offer greater price stability and lower volatility than longer dated issues While we believe short duration bonds are well positioned to gain a performance advantage in the longer term, their other characteristics mean that they can play an important role within a well-diversified fixed interest portfolio. OUR PROCESS RLAM s short duration bond Funds are managed using a combination of top-down analysis, based on our macroeconomic views overlaid with bottom-up security selection. At the macro level, the process starts with a quarterly economic review during which Ian Kernohan, RLAM s Economist offers an assessment of all major economic regions, focusing upon key variables such as growth rates and inflation. This meeting is also used to formulate our outlook scenarios, including shortterm, medium-term and long-term yield as well as interest rate forecasts, all of which underpin our investment strategy. Moving to the micro level, our selection of the individual bonds within the portfolios is driven by our assessment of value. To achieve this we use our proprietary relative value model. The output from this model is reviewed daily and used alongside other regression based models to assist with the selection of individual bonds. In addition we also look at stock specific factors that are vitally important. Overall, we aim to construct diversified portfolios with the potential to deliver consistent alpha from multiple sources. FLEXIBILITY At RLAM, our value-oriented fixed interest philosophy is based on the premise that credit and sovereign bond markets, to greater and lesser degrees respectively, present valuation anomalies that can be exploited. We emphasise our own research and use this to examine a wider investment universe than many of our peers. We believe this presents us with the opportunity to uncover returns that are overlooked by our competitors. Our approach is, therefore, very much an active one. As such, our Funds will have the appropriate flexibility to invest tactically in other markets, as appropriate, should any of them present a more attractive investment case than the core asset class. Additionally, having the scope to actively manage the duration of the Funds allows our managers to exploit movements in short dated yields.
4 RL SHORT DURATION GILT FUND The duration of the Royal London Short Duration Gilt Fund is actively managed to exploit movements in short dated gilts. It invests in UK gilts while maintaining an overall short duration within the Fund. Additionally, the Fund has appropriate flexibility to invest tactically in other markets, such as index linked government bonds, corporate bonds, or non-uk government bonds, should any of them present a more attractive investment case than the core asset class. Craig Inches Head of Short Rates and Cash Ben Nicholl Assistant Fund Manager Typical duration: FTSE Actuaries UK Conventional Gilts up to 5 Years 3 years Craig Inches and Ben Nicholl Inception date: Core: Short-dated gilts and medium-dated gilts Tactical: Cash instruments, overseas government bonds, short-dated corporate bonds, short and medium-dated UK and overseas index linked bonds RL SHORT DURATION GLOBAL INDEX LINKED BOND FUND The Royal London Short Duration Global Index Linked Bond Fund targets the shorter end of the maturity spectrum, aiming to deliver inflation-linked returns with limited interest rate risk. It is an actively managed, globally diversified portfolio with the ability to invest in UK and global index linked government and corporate bonds. The debt securities in which the Fund invests may be investment grade or noninvestment grade.

5 RL SHORT DURATION CREDIT FUND The Royal London Short Duration Credit Fund targets shorter-dated bonds (up to 5 years maturity) in the sterling investment grade credit market that we believe currently offer value. Fund duration is actively managed. The Fund may have tactical allocation to other asset classes, such as gilts and index linked bonds. Paola Binns Senior Fund Manager Typical duration: BofA ML 1-5 year Sterling Non Gilt Index 3 years Paola Binns Inception date: Core: Short-dated UK credit Tactical: Cash instruments, short-dated gilts, medium-dated UK credit, short-dated overseas credit RL DURATION HEDGED CREDIT FUND The Royal London Duration Hedged Credit Fund invests in investment grade corporate bonds across a range of maturities, although it may also invest in UK government and other debt securities and uses derivatives to protect against interest rate risk. Duration is actively managed to reflect the manager s views of interest rates, with a target duration of zero years. Shalin Shah Fund Manager 3 month LIBOR Typical duration: 0 years Shalin Shah Inception date: Core: UK and overseas credit, UK gilts (held as collateral against interest rate swaps)
6 RL SHORT DURATION GLOBAL HIGH YIELD BOND FUND The Royal London Short Duration Global High Yield Bond Fund invests a large portion of its assets in short maturity sub-investment grade bonds issued by companies domiciled in the UK, Europe, Africa, Asia and the Americas. The Fund may invest in short maturity investment grade securities. It may also invest in short maturity bonds issued by European governments and government related agencies. Azhar Hussain Head of Global High Yield Stephen Tapley Fund Manager Typical duration: 3 month LIBOR Less than 2 years Azhar Hussain and Stephen Tapley Inception date: Core: Short-dated high yield bonds Tactical: Cash instruments, short-dated UK and overseas government bonds RL INVESTMENT GRADE SHORT DATED CREDIT FUND The Royal London Investment Grade Short Dated Credit Fund aims to provide a return from a combination of income and capital growth.
