Overview

Investment Approach


The Fund aims to achieve a total return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income, which aims to provide some outperformance (before deduction of the Fund’s fees and expenses) of the return of the Bloomberg Japan Treasury Index GBP Hedged, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index).

The Fund has an enhanced index strategy which differs from a pure-index tracking strategy. Although both strategies invest in a similar range of fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds), enhanced index strategies aim to take overweight and/or underweight positions relative to the Index in order to achieve some outperformance of the Index (before deduction of the Fund’s fees and expenses).

The Fund invests in the FI securities that predominantly make up the Index and instruments related to such FI securities, including financial derivative instruments (FDI) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). The Index predominantly comprises Japanese fixed rate government bonds and will have a credit rating which reflects that of the Japanese Treasury.

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. Investment risk is concentrated in specific sectors, countries, currencies or companies. This means the Fund is more sensitive to any localised economic, market, political, sustainability-related or regulatory events.

ESG Integration

ESG Integration

ESG integration is the practice of incorporating financially material environmental, social and governance (ESG) data or information into the investment decision process with the objective of enhancing risk-adjusted returns of our clients’ portfolios. Unless otherwise stated in Fund documentation or included within the Fund's investment objective, inclusion of this statement does not imply that the Fund has an ESG-aligned investment objective or strategy, but rather describes how ESG data or information is considered as part of the overall investment process.

The Fund manager includes ESG considerations in combination with other information in the research and due diligence stage of the investment process. The Fund manager has developed internal research signals to help evaluate corporate issuers on climate, governance and human capital issues. ESG information may be sourced from both internal and external sources. The Fund manager conducts regular portfolio risk reviews with the Risk and Quantitative Analysis group. These reviews include discussion, where appropriate, of the portfolio's exposure to material ESG risks, as well as exposure to sustainability-related business involvements, climate-related metrics, and other factors.
