"Although we do not expect to see a repeat of 2009’s extraordinary gains, underlying conditions remain supportive of bond markets, namely low interest rates and a continued demand for income. Furthermore, there remain sections of the corporate bond market that continue to offer opportunities, with attractive yields and spreads that are generous by historical standards."
Michael Matthews, Fund Manager
Reasons to consider the Invesco Sterling Bond Fund
- Invests across the credit spectrum: the fund offers varying exposure to a range of fixed income sectors including government, investment-grade and high-yield bonds.
- Prospect of growth and income: accumulation shares allow investors to benefit from gross compound returns with no tax deducted; and distribution share class pays income quarterly for those looking for a regular income stream.
- Investment flexibility: low initial and top-up levels combine with the option to switch between accumulation and distribution share classes free of charge, to give investors considerable flexibility to adapt their investments, should investment goals change.
- Solid investment experience: managed by Michael Matthews, member of the multi award-winning fixed interest team in Henley, with 15 years' investment experience.
- Fund charges are taken from income: avoiding erosion of investors' capital through charges.

Important information
The value of investments and any income from them will fluctuate (this may partly be the result of exchange rate fluctuations) and you may not get back the full amount invested.
Current tax levels and reliefs may change. Depending on individual circumstances, this may affect investment returns. Past performance is not a guide to future returns.
Where Invesco has expressed views and opinions, these may change.
The Invesco Sterling Bond Fund invests in bonds and other fixed income securities that are subject to the risk that issuers do not make payments on such securities. The fund may be adversely affected by a decrease in market liquidity which may impair the fund’s ability to acquire or to dispose of securities at their intrinsic value. The fund may invest in high-yield bonds which are regarded as being more speculative (than investment-grade bonds) as to the issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and interest.
