The name of the investment company changed from Invesco Perpetual Enhanced
Income Limited on 4 March 2019.
Investment objective
The Company’s principal objective is to provide shareholders with a high level of income
whilst seeking to maximise total return through investing in a diversified portfolio of high
yielding corporate and government bonds. The Company may also invest in equities and
other instruments that the Manager considers appropriate.
The Company seeks to balance the attraction of high yield securities with the need
for protection of capital and to manage volatility. The Company generally employs
gearing in its Investment Policy.
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
