Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund aims to provide a return on your investment (generated through an increase in the value of the assets held by the Fund and/or income received from those assets) which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate Corporate Index (the Index). The Fund is passively managed and the investment manager (IM) has discretion to select the Fund’s investments and in doing so may take into consideration the Index. The Fund invests in fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Index whilst employing an environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) policy as described below. The Index measures the performance of fixed rate and fixed-to-floating rate investment grade FI securities with at least one year to final maturity issued by corporate issuers in the industrial, utility and financial sectors on a global basis. The Index is a market capitalisation weighted index and rebalances on a monthly basis.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. The value of investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. Investors may not get back the amount originally invested.

Credit risk, changes to interest rates and/or issuer defaults will have a significant impact on the performance of fixed income securities. Potential or actual credit rating downgrades may increase the level of risk. Investment risk is concentrated in specific sectors, countries, currencies or companies. This means the Fund is more sensitive to any localised economic, market, political or regulatory events. The Fund seeks to exclude companies engaging in certain activities inconsistent with ESG criteria. Investors should therefore make a personal ethical assessment of the Fund’s ESG screening prior to investment. Such ESG screening may adversely affect the value of the Fund’s investments compared to a fund without such screening.

All currency hedged share classes of this fund use derivatives to hedge currency risk. The use of derivatives for a share class could pose a potential risk of contagion (also known as spill-over) to other share classes in the fund. The fund’s management company will ensure appropriate procedures are in place to minimise contagion risk to other share class. Using the drop down box directly below the name of the fund, you can view a list of all share classes in the fund – currency hedged share classes are indicated by the word “Hedged” in the name of the share class. In addition, a full list of all currency hedged share classes is available on request from the fund’s management company
