Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate 1-5 Year Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index).

The Fund aims to invest as far as possible and practicable in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Index.

It is intended that, at the time of purchase, the FI securities will have received a credit rating of at least investment grade (i.e. meet a specified level of creditworthiness) from any one of Moody’s, Standard & Poor’s or Fitch Ratings or are deemed, by the investment manager, to be of an equivalent rating. If the credit rating of a FI security is downgraded, the Fund may continue to hold this, until it is practicable to sell the position.

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
