Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which aims to out-perform the return of the FTSE Non -EGBI Euro Broad Investment-Grade Index (the Index).

The Fund has an enhanced index strategy which differs from a pure-index tracking strategy. Although both strategies invest in a similar range of fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), enhanced strategies aim to take overweight and/or underweight positions relative to the benchmark index in order to achieve some outperformance of the benchmark index.

The Fund invests predominantly in the FI securities that make up the Index (which comprises credit bonds).

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.

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
