The Fund is actively managed and aims to provide investors with a total return, taking into account both capital and income returns. The Fund will invest at least 80% of its total assets in investment grade (or where unrated deemed by the Investment Manager (IM) to be of an equivalent rating) fixed income securities issued by corporate issuers (i.e. corporate bonds) in developed markets and instruments relating to such securities (namely credit default swaps, currency swaps, futures and forwards) and denominated in US Dollar. The Fund may also invest in government bonds, municipal bonds, sovereign and supranational debt, and instruments relating to such bonds denominated in US Dollar. The Fund may invest up to 20% of its assets in fixed income securities (or instruments related to such securities) of issues domiciled in emerging markets and denominated in US Dollar. The Fund will also invest in accordance with its ESG Policy as outlined in the Fund’s prospectus. The IM may use financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets), such as futures, forward contracts and swap contracts (including credit default swaps and total return swaps) for direct investment purposes or for efficient portfolio management purposes. The IM has discretion to select the Fund’s investments. Investors may use the Bloomberg US Corporate Index to compare the performance of the Fund.

The price of fixed income securities may be affected by changing interest rates which in turn may affect the value of your investment. Fixed income securities prices move inversely to interest rates. Therefore, the market value of fixed income securities may decrease as interest rates increase. The credit rating of an issuing entity will generally affect the yield that can be earned on fixed income securities; the better the credit rating the smaller the yield.

The return on your investment in the Fund is directly related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The relationship between the return on your investment, how it is impacted and the period for which you hold your investment is considered below (see “How long should I hold it and can I take my money out early?”).

The depositary of the Fund is State Street Custodial Services (Ireland) Limited.
