Overview

WHY ?

  1. Diversified exposure to Euro-denominated, investment grade corporate bonds across sectors.
  2. Explicitly excludes companies involved in industries such as weapons, thermal coal, tobacco and UN Global Compact violations.
  3. Seeks a sustainable approach in building the core of a bond portfolio.

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. 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.
