Fixed Income Global Opportunities Fund

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. The Fund invests primarily in fixed income securities (such as bonds) on a global basis and money-market instruments (i.e. debt securities with short term maturities). The fixed income securities and money-market instruments may be issued by governments, government agencies, companies and supranationals.

Important Information: Capital at Risk. All financial investments involve an element of risk. Therefore, the value of your investment and the income from it will vary and your initial investment amount cannot be guaranteed.

Modified Duration Modified Duration is a measure of price sensitivity of a bond to changes in interest rates. It inversely indicates the expected change in the price of a bond, assuming a 1% change in interest rates. The Modified Duration of iShares ETFs is calculated as the average of the underlying bonds' modified duration values, weighted by the bond's weight in the fund. as of 31-Jan-19 3.48
Effective Duration Effective Duration is a measure of the potential impact on a bond or portfolio price of a 1% change in interest rates across all maturities. It takes into account the possible changes in expected bond cash flows for bonds with embedded optionality (for example the bond issuer's right to redeem bonds at a pre-determined price on certain dates) due to the 1% change in rates. as of 31-Jan-19 2.89
