AJ Bell Award
Invesco Bond Income Plus has once again been recognised as the best investment trust in the ‘Bonds – Active’ category in AJ Bell’s annual investment awards. This is the second year in succession BIPS has claimed the award, after being nominated by financial advisors and receiving the most votes from private investors.
The Company aims to obtain capital growth and high income from investment, predominantly in high-yielding fixed-interest securities.
Further details of the Company’s Investment Policy and Risk and Investment Limits can be found in the Directors' Report contained within the Company’s Annual Financial Report.
The Company has maintained a consistent level of dividend for several years. A simple maxim underpins this success: we will only invest when we think we are being adequately rewarded for doing so.
Today, the portfolio is invested across three broad areas of the high yield bond market. Income generators form the core of the fund, made up of bonds issued by non-financial companies that pay a high level of income to compensate for their leveraged balance sheets. Next, banks and subordinated financials - bonds in this area of the market continue to pay a premium over other areas of the market. Finally, credit intensive bonds, which are bonds that have come under price pressure, but that we believe have the right plans in place to turn around their business.
