The investment objective of the VT AJ Bell Balanced is to achieve long-term capital growth with a balanced approach between lower risk assets such as cash and fixed income and higher risk assets such as equities.

The investment objective of VT AJ Bell Balanced is to achieve long-term capital growth with a balanced approach between defensive assets such as cash, fixed interest securities, money-market funds and collective investment schemes following alternative strategies such as property and commodities, and higher risk assets such as equities. This is to keep the Fund within a pre-determined risk profile. Capital is in fact at risk and there is no guarantee that capital growth will be achieved over a 5 year, or any period.

The Fund will seek to achieve its objective (and so provide exposure to the asset classes noted in the objective) by investing predominantly (80% +), in index-tracking investments or strategies (those instruments and/or investment strategies that aim to track the performance of various financial indices) and which typically consist of collective investment schemes (including those managed or operated by the ACD) as well as equities, bonds and transferable securities.

The Fund may also invest in non-index tracking collective investment schemes, equities, bonds, transferable securities, money market instruments, deposits, cash and near cash.

The Fund will not have any particular geographic, industry or economic sector focus and as such weightings in these may vary as required. The Fund may have exposure to emerging markets through its investments in e.g. collective investment schemes or futures.

The Fund's risk profile is managed by restricting the types of asset held and allocations to those assets. The risk profiles are determined by the external risk rating agency's forward looking volatility assumptions. The Fund aims to operate with a risk rating of 5, on a scale of 1-10 where 1 is an allocation to cash and 10 is an allocation to riskier equity regions such as Asia and emerging markets.

Derivatives (that is sophisticated investment instruments linked to the rise and fall of the price of other assets) are held only for efficient portfolio management purposes.

Derivatives:
The Fund may hold derivatives only for efficient portfolio management purposes. It is not intended that the use of derivatives for efficient portfolio management purposes will increase the risk profile of the Fund.
