About this fund
Fund objectives
- The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to track the performance of the Bloomberg Global Aggregate USD Credit Float Adjusted Bond Index (the “Index”).
- The Index is a market-weighted index of U.S. dollar-denominated Investment grade fixed-income securities with maturities greater than one year and a minimum issue size of USD 300 million, but excluding certain sectors as set out below. The Index includes securities issued by global corporates, securitised, and government-related/supranational entities, but excludes U.S. Treasuries and certain securitised sectors and issues as defined by the Index provider.
- The Fund attempts to: 1. Track the performance of the Index by investing through physical acquisition in a portfolio of securities that, insofar as possible and practicable, consists of a representative sample of the component securities of the Index. 2. Remain fully invested except in extraordinary market, political or similar conditions where the Fund may temporarily depart from this investment policy to avoid losses.
