Edentree Responsible and Sustainable Short Dated Bond Fund
Capital preservation with an income in excess of cash is hard to find, yet there is a fund delivering consistent, stable income with minimal credit risk that only invests responsibly and sustainably.
Our EdenTree Responsible and Sustainable Short Dated Bond Fund seeks to invest primarily in high quality bonds, those with an investment-grade credit rating of A or better, with a portfolio duration averaging around two years.
You can read more about how we ensure that all our funds are delivering value for our clients in the first annual EdenTree Investment Funds Assessment of Value Report, which is also available on our Corporate Policies page.
