Investment objective: The objective of the Fund is to provide exposure to the performance of global investment grade corporate bonds, whilst seeking to increase exposure to issuers that demonstrate a robust ESG profile. Investment approach: The Fund is a passively managed ETF. To achieve the investment objective the Fund will seek to replicate the total return performance of the Bloomberg MSCI Global Liquid Corporate Climate Transition ESG Bond Index (the "Index"), less fees, expenses and transaction costs. The Fund will employ sampling techniques to select securities in the Index which may include but are not limited to index weighted average duration, industry sectors, country weights, liquidity and credit quality. The use of the sampling approach will result in the Fund holding a smaller number of securities than are in the underlying Index. The Fund may use derivative instruments for the purposes of managing risk, reducing costs, generating additional capital or income. The Fund may engage in securities lending, whereby 90% of the revenues arising from securities lending will be returned to the Fund and 10% of the revenues will be retained by the securities lending agent. The Fund may be exposed to the risk of the borrower defaulting on its obligation to return the securities at the end of the loan period and of being unable to sell the collateral provided to it if the borrower defaults. The Fund is an Article 8 Fund (it promotes environmental and/or social characteristics) for the purposes of Regulation (EU) 2019/2088 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 27 November 2019 on sustainability‐related disclosures in the financial services sector ("SFDR"). The Fund’s base currency is USD. The Index: The Index is designed to reflect the performance of global investment grade, fixedrate, taxable debt securities issued by corporate issuers across developed markets, adjusted in accordance with certain ESG metrics which seek to increase the overall exposure of the Index to those issuers demonstrating a robust ESG profile, whilst meeting the minimum standards for EU Climate Transition Benchmarks. It includes publicly issued securities by industrial, utility and financial institution issuers in global and regional markets. The securities will be rated investment grade at the time of inclusion in the Index, as determined by the index provider. Securities’ principal and interest must be denominated in currencies that have at least USD200bn in total issuance (currently, the eligible securities are USD, EUR, GBP and CAD). Only securities with at least one year to final maturity (i.e. the time until they become due for repayment) and minimum outstanding par amounts as determined by the index provider, are included in the Index. Securities are excluded that, according to the index provider’s exclusionary criteria:1) have an MSCI ESG rating below BBB; 2) have faced very severe controversies pertaining to ESG or environmental issues over the last three years; 3) are issued by an issuer that is not covered by MSCI ESG Research; or 4) are involved, as per the standard Bloomberg MSCI SRI methodology, in business activities which are deemed to have adverse impacts from an ESG standpoint; 5) are issued by emerging market issuers. Involvement and revenue thresholds are defined by the Index provider. Further information in relation to any revenue thresholds and controversy scoring criteria, can be obtained from the Index provider’s website. The index provider then re-weights eligible securities to minimise the difference in constituent, sector and industry weights to the parent index, Bloomberg Global Aggregate Corporate Index, while achieving: 1) alignment with the minimum standards for EU Climate Transition Benchmarks; and 2) an uplift in MSCI ESG Score against the parent index. The Index is rebalanced on a monthly basis.
