INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

The Fund aims to provide a total return, comprising income and capital, by investing in a portfolio predominantly of Euro-denominated AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations (CLOs). The Fund is not suitable for retail investors unless the investor in question qualifies as an "advanced investor" as prescribed by the European MiFID Template (EMT), being an investor who has good knowledge of relevant financial products and transactions and/or has financial industry experience or whose investment is accompanied by professional investment advice or included in a discretionary portfolio service.

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.Collateralised Loan Obligations are subject to the same risks described for fixed income securities. These instruments may be subject to 'Liquidity Risk', have high levels of borrowing and may not fully reflect the value of underlying assets.The Fund seeks to exclude companies engaging in certain activities inconsistent with ESG criteria. Such ESG screening may reduce the potential investment universe and this 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
