The LIBOR PLUS Class Units will be managed with the paramount goal of maintaining the value of amounts invested. The Investment Adviser will also aim to maintain reasonable liquidity. After satisfying the need for maintaining the value of amounts invested and liquidity, the Investment Adviser will endeavor to earn a high total return. Investments will be made principally in US dollar denominated fixed income securities.
LOM Capital Limited sponsors the listing of the LIBOR PLUS Class Units of the Fund. The securities are being listed under the Listing Regulations for Collective Investment Schemes and the provisions for General Marketing.
"The additional yield provided by this Class will be attractive to investors at this time of historic low interest rates. It is currently yielding approximately 1.82% which combined with weekly dealing provides a tremendous combination of yield and liquidity", said Peter Everson, President of Schroders (Bermuda) Limited.
