Launched in April 2009, the Aviva Irl Blue Chip Corporate Bond Fund offers high quality exposure to the corporate bond sector. Since its launch on 09 April 2009 to 03 February 2012, we are delighted to announce that the Fund has done exactly what we said it would do:

• Deliver a strong return of 21.8%.*
• Provide a winning alternative to cash. The average return of the Irish pension cash sector was 2.4% over the same period.*

Why Aviva Irl Blue Chip Corporate Bond?

• Strong, established fixed interest capabilities: When you invest with Aviva Investors, you benefit from over 30 years’ experience in managing fixed interest investments for customers. With over £181 billion funds under management in fixed interest alone (Source: Aviva Investors 30 Dec 2012), Aviva Investors is a leading global fixed income fund manager.
• Strong opportunity now: The fall in government bond yields to record lows has pushed the proportion of overall yield available from corporate credit over government bonds to very high levels. With investment grade and high yield bond markets yielding anywhere between 6 and 12 per cent against a backdrop of low interest rates and slow growth, Aviva Investors’ believe these markets present a strong investment case over a medium- to long term time horizon
• Diversification: Blue chip corporate bonds offer an excellent source of further diversification for investors’ portfolios and in terms of risk/reward these instruments are less volatile than equities while offering the potential for a greater return than government bonds.
