The Share Class is a share class of a Fund which aims to achieve a return on your investment, through a combination of capital growth and income on the Fund’s assets, which reflects the return of the J.P. Morgan GBI-EM Global Diversified Capped Net Index, the Fund’s benchmark index (Index).

The Share Class, via the Fund is passively managed, and aims to invest so far as possible and practicable in the fixed income (FI) securities (such as bonds) that make up the Index. These may include securities with a relatively low credit rating or which are unrated. The Index measures the performance of local currency denominated FI securities, selected to provide a broad representation of the local currency emerging markets government debt market. Exposure to bonds issued by a single country is limited in accordance with the index methodology. The Index does not apply a minimum credit rating requirement to its constituents. To be included in the Index, each bond must (i) have a minimum amount outstanding of either $1 billion (for local issues) or $500 million (for global issues), and (ii) have a remaining term to maturity (i.e. the time until they become due for repayment) of greater than 2.5 years in accordance with the index criteria for each eligible country. The Fund uses optimising techniques to achieve a similar return to its Index. These may include the strategic selection of certain securities that make up the Index or other FI securities which provide similar performance to certain constituent securities. These may also include the use of financial derivative instruments (FDIs) (i.e. investments the prices of which are based on one or more underlying assets). FDIs may be used for direct investment purposes. The Fund may also engage in short-term secured lending of its investments to certain eligible third parties to generate additional income to off-set the costs 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 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.

Investors who are not authorised participants (e.g. select financial institutions) can generally only buy or sell the shares on the secondary market (e.g. via a broker on a stock exchange) at the then prevailing market price. The value of the shares are related to the value of the underlying assets of the Fund, less costs (see “What are the costs?” below). The prevailing market price at which the shares trade on the secondary market may deviate from the value of the Shares. Indicative net asset value is published on relevant stock exchanges websites.
