Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which reflects the return of the FTSE World Government Bond Index (ex-EMU Government Bonds), the Fund’s benchmark index.

The Fund invests predominantly in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Fund's benchmark index (which comprises world government bonds excluding EMU participant states). At the time of purchase, the FI securities will be investment grade rated (i.e. meet a specified level of credit worthiness). 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.

The benchmark index measures the performance of bonds issued by governments and includes countries in the FTSE World Government Bond Index but excludes countries in the FTSE EMU Government Bond Index. The benchmark index includes FI securities with a maturity (i.e. the time until they become due for repayment) which is greater than a year and which pay a fixed rate of interest.

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
