About this fund
Fund objectives
- The Fund employs a passive management – or indexing – investment approach, through physical acquisition of securities, and seeks to achieve the performance of the Bloomberg EUR Non-Government Float Adjusted Bond Index (the “Index”).
- The Index is a market-weighted index of euro denominated investment grade fixed-income securities with maturities greater than one year and a minimum issue size of EUR 300 million. The Index includes securities issued by corporate, securitised, and government-related/supranational issuers (including issuers such as the European Union), but excludes eurozone treasury and eurozone government related bonds. The euro zone is all countries in the European Union that have adopted the euro as their currency.
- Through the screening out of bonds issued by corporate issuers from its portfolio based on the potentially detrimental impact of the issuer's conduct or products on society, the Fund promotes certain social characteristics relating to social norms and standards.
- The Fund attempts to: 1. Match the risk factor exposures of the Index by investing in a representative sample of the securities that make up the Index, excluding any securities which do not meet the screening criteria. The screening process seeks to exclude Index constituents that are issued by corporate issuers (including issuers of covered bonds) that (as determined by the Index provider) are involved in: (a) the production of controversial weapons such as cluster munitions, land mines, biological weapons, chemical weapons and/or nuclear weapons; and/or (b) the manufacture of tobacco products. The screening process also seeks to exclude Index constituents that are issued by corporate issuers (including issuers of covered bonds) that have allegedly or actually been directly involved in very severe controversies and/or violations of international norms and principles that have a negative environmental, social and/or governance impact above a particular severity threshold (as determined by the Index provider using a pre-defined, rules-based methodology). 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.
- Company product and conduct involvement is monitored on a yearly basis by the Index provider and as new data is made available to the Index provider.

Please see the fund’s fact sheet and prospectus for important information about risk’s specific to the fund. All investing is subject to risk, which may result in loss of principal. Investments in bond funds are subject to the risk that an issuer will fail to make payments on time, and that bond prices will decline because of rising interest rates or negative perceptions of an issuer's ability to make payments. High-yield bonds generally have medium-and lower-range credit-quality ratings and are therefore subject to a higher level of credit risk than bonds with higher credit-quality ratings. Bonds of companies based in emerging markets are subject to national and regional political and economic risks and to the risk of currency fluctuations. These risks are especially high in emerging markets.
