Overview

Investment Approach

The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Euro Aggregate Corporate Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index). The Fund invests in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) which predominantly make up the Index (which comprises corporate bonds) whilst employing an environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) policy as described below. The Index measures the performance of investment grade FI securities which pay income according to a fixed rate of interest. These may be issued or guaranteed by corporate issuers in the industrial, utility and financial sectors and are traded on the Eurobond and Eurozone markets (regardless of the domicile of the issuer).
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

The performance quoted represents past performance and does not guarantee future results. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor's shares, when sold or redeemed, may be worth more or less than the original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted.

The figures shown relate to past performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance. Markets could develop very differently in the future. It can help you to assess how the fund has been managed in the past
