Investment approach
An actively managed fund which will be invested in a diversified portfolio of high-quality sterling denominated deposits and instruments. All investments at the time of purchase will have the highest short-term credit rating or an equivalent strong long-term rating.
The weighted average maturity of the investments will not exceed 60 days. The fund will not invest in derivatives or other collective investment schemes.
Sustainability approach
We believe that the primary role of sustainable investment is to drive positive change and this is best achieved by pushing companies to do more to address the major challenges facing us today. The fund is managed in line with our sustainability approach for cash funds.
The FCA has introduced sustainable investment labels to help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal. This product does not have a UK sustainable investment label because it does not have a sustainability goal.

Who can invest?
The Public Sector Deposit Fund is available to professional and retail clients but is principally targeted at public sector investors.
Maximising the average yield on deposits while achieving the required security and liquidity requires a careful focus on counterparty quality and the size and term of the cash placed. The best rates from strong counterparties are usually only available on very large deposits.

In addition to the general risk factors outlined in the Prospectus investors should also note that purchase of PSDF shares is not the same as making a deposit with a bank or other deposit taking body and is not a guaranteed investment. Although it is intended to maintain a stable net asset value per share, there can be no assurance that it will be maintained. Notwithstanding the policy of investing in short-term instruments, the value of the PSDF may also be affected by fluctuations in interest rates. The PSDF does not rely on external support for guaranteeing the liquidity of the fund or stabilising the net asset value per share. The risk of loss of principal is borne by the shareholder.
